Free text – the rich text editor for your forms
Not every piece of information fits into a plain field: formatted explanations, images, tables, links or references to process values – all of that belongs in your forms if they are to be truly helpful. The free text form field in linqi is built for exactly this: it is a rich text editor that lets you place content directly into your forms – formatted, with images, tables and live references to process values. Your forms become more than input masks: they become information points where the right content appears at the right moment.
The rich text editor supports the standard building blocks: headings, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists, quotes, links, tables with multiple rows and columns, embedded images and video elements. The real value is the combination with linqi values: placeholders and expressions can be anchored right inside the text, so a free text field can show an invoice amount, a customer address or the current status from the process run directly in the sentence – without anyone having to look anything up or copy anything.
From input field to information field
The free text type in linqi serves two purposes: as an editable field where your employees enter formatted content with images and tables, and as an information field that provides content directly in your forms – such as instructions, notes or summarized process data. In both cases you use the same rich text editor: with tools for headings, lists, quotes, tables, links, images and connections to placeholders and expressions. This removes the detour through external documents, keeps all information with the process, and turns forms into a single place where content and input come together.
Frequently asked questions about free text
What can the rich text editor do?
Headings, bulleted lists, numbered lists and checklists, quotes, links, tables with row and column combinations, images, video elements, plus placeholders and expressions from the process.
Can I embed images in forms?
Yes. Image elements are embedded directly into the free text field and stored together with the content – no separate upload or external linking required.
What is the difference to a single line text field?
A single line text field takes a short input value. Free text is a rich text editor: formatted content, images, tables and connections to process values come standard.
How do I get values from the process?
Placeholders and expressions bind any value of the running process directly into the free text – it appears live in the field and stays in sync with the process run.
