IncludedFields property

Represents the fields that are included in reports generated by an email report button. This property is only consulted if the email report button has been instructed to select what fields to include using a formula.

To set this property, use a formula which returns an array. The elements of this array are only included if the other options of the email report button allow them. For instance, if the email report button has been configured not to include hidden fields, any hidden fields that are part of the array returned by this property are ignored.

Including a list of fields

This formula includes Field1, Field2 and Field3:

{ Field1, Field2, Field3 }{ Field1; Field2; Field3 }

Including a range of fields

Ranges enable a large number of fields to be referenced in a compact way. This formula includes the fields Field1 and Field5, as well as all fields that appear between them:

Field1:Field5Field1:Field5

This formula includes Field1, Field3 and Field5, as well as the fields that appear between Field3 and Field5:

{ Field1, Field3:Field5 }{ Field1; Field3:Field5 }

Including all fields of a form group, screen or the entire app

To include all fields of a form group or screen, simply write the name of the form group or screen in the formula:

{ FormGroup1, FormScreen1 }{ FormGroup1; FormScreen1 }

This technique can even be used with the app object, to include all fields in the app. Consider this formula:

IF(IncludeAllFields, { App }, { Field1, Field2 })IF(IncludeAllFields; { App }; { Field1; Field2 })

The formula above includes all fields in the app if the IncludeAllFields switch field has been toggled to its "on" position. Otherwise, it includes only Field1 and Field2.

Including fields conditionally with IF

Use IF inside of an array to include fields based on logical conditions.

This formula unconditionally includes Field1, but Field2 is only included if the value of Result is greater than 5:

{ Field1, IF(Result > 5, Field2) }{ Field1; IF(Result > 5; Field2) }

Including fields conditionally with FILTER

When there are many fields to conditionally include, using IF is not practical. FILTER takes an array as its first parameter and a logical array as its second parameter with the same number of elements as the first array. Only elements of the first array where the corresponding element of the second array is TRUE are part of the array returned from FILTER.

FILTER({ 1, 2, 3 }, { FALSE, FALSE, TRUE })FILTER({ 1; 2; 3 }; { FALSE; FALSE; TRUE }) returns the array { 3 }{ 3 }, because the elements 1 and 2 are associated with FALSE elements in the second array.

This IncludedFields formula uses FILTER to only include number fields whose values are greater than 3:

FILTER(Field1:Field5, Field1:Field5 > 3)FILTER(Field1:Field5; Field1:Field5 > 3)

This formula only includes fields with a defined value:

FILTER(Field1:Field5, ISDEFINED(Field1:Field5))FILTER(Field1:Field5; ISDEFINED(Field1:Field5))

This formula only includes visible fields:

FILTER(Field1:Field5, (Field1:Field5).Visible)FILTER(Field1:Field5; (Field1:Field5),Visible)

Examples

{ Field1, Field2, Field3 }{ Field1; Field2; Field3 }

Makes an email report button include the fields Field1, Field2 and Field3.

Field1:Field5Field1:Field5

Makes an email report button include the fields Field1 and Field5, as well as all fields that appear between them.

{ Field1, Field3:Field5 }{ Field1; Field3:Field5 }

Makes an email report button include the fields Field1, Field3 and Field5, as well as the fields that appear between Field3 and Field5.

{ FormGroup1, FormScreen1 }{ FormGroup1; FormScreen1 }

Makes an email report button include all fields that belong to the form group FormGroup1 and the form screen FormScreen1.

IF(IncludeAllFields, { App }, { Field1, Field2 })IF(IncludeAllFields; { App }; { Field1; Field2 })

Makes an email report button include all fields in the app if the switch field IncludeAllFields is toggled to its "on" position. Otherwise, the fields Field1 and Field2 are included.

{ Field1, IF(Result > 5, Field2) }{ Field1; IF(Result > 5; Field2) }

Makes an email report button include Field1 unconditionally and Field2 only if the value of the number field Result is greater than 5.

FILTER(Field1:Field5, Field1:Field5 > 3)FILTER(Field1:Field5; Field1:Field5 > 3)

Makes an email report button include the fields Field1, Field5 and all fields that appear between them, but only if their values are greater than 3.

FILTER(Field1:Field5, ISDEFINED(Field1:Field5))FILTER(Field1:Field5; ISDEFINED(Field1:Field5))

Makes an email report button include the fields Field1, Field5 and all fields that appear between them, but only if they have defined values.

FILTER(Field1:Field5, (Field1:Field5).Visible)FILTER(Field1:Field5; (Field1:Field5),Visible)

Makes an email report button include the fields Field1, Field5 and all fields that appear between them, but only if they are visible.
