During form creation, there are various symbols available that can, for example, insert sections or rows, move and modify elements, etc. In addition, you can assign various properties such as Write-protected and Required field. These and other properties are displayed in your form editor as symbols. That way, you have a quick visual overview of the status of your form elements. You can directly alter that status by clicking on a symbol. The relevant information is displayed in the cursor context menu. The appearance of the symbol does not change.
The individual symbols are explained in the following table.
