Shared Form Settings

The following is a list of all of the settings that are available, that would be set by you and what they do:

Name	What does it do?

BccAddress	This setting enables you to set an additional email address that completed online forms should be sent to for internal purposes.
SendApplicantEmail	This setting when set to true will ensure citizens will be sent an email when submitting their forms.
EmailEvidenceUploads	This setting when set to true will ensure when a form is submitted and evidence was uploaded during its completion, that said evidence is attached to the email sent internally.
ApplicantEmailIncludeAttachments	This setting when set to true will ensure when a form is submitted and evidence was uploaded during its completion, that said evidence is attached to the email sent to the citizen (provided the SendApplicantEmail and EnableFormPDF setrrings are also enabled). The Form PDF will also be included as an attachment to the email.
EnableTopValidationSummary	If this is set to true a person will be provided with a summary of all issues on a page when they have not completed all mandatory fields or not completed things properly. This will appear at the top of the page.
EnableBottomValidationSummary	If this is set to true a person will be provided with a summary of all issues on a page when they have not completed all mandatory fields or not completed things properly. This will appear at the bottom of the page.
EnableSavedForLaterCustomerEmail	This setting when set to true will ensure citizens will be sent an email when submitting their forms.
DisableValidationOnPreviousButton	This setting when set to true will enable a customer to move backwards from the current page even if there are issues on it. This is useful because sometimes they may have made a mistake and need to go back to change earlier answers.
TransactionNumberMode	This setting adds the means to support a cryptorandom type for the reference number generated in the form. This should be used where you wish to leverage the new functionality provided for the reference number.
TransactionNumberCasing	This allows the reference number to be in upper or lower case. The default is Upper
TransactionNumberPrefix	Appends a prefix to a reference number e.g. if this setting was set to HB a reference number would be like this: HBZQAPFYXC
TransactionNumberPostfix	Appends a suffix to a reference number e.g. if this setting was set to HB a reference number would be like this: ZQAPFYXC-CT
TransactionNumberRandomNumberMin	Sets the minimum number of characters in the form reference
TransactionNumberRandomNumberMax	Sets the maximum number of characters in the form reference
TransactionNumberRandomStringLength	This is an existing setting and is that which controls the total length of the reference value generated upon starting a form.
TransactionNumberTransmissionTimeout	Controls the time in minutes that a session will be kept
EnableSecuredRetrieve	This is the setting that, if set to true means a person requires to provide an additional security phrase on top of the reference number to access their form. The user can choose which type of additional phrase to provide from these types: Name of your first school Your mother's maiden name Your National Insurance Number A password of choice
SecureRetrievePasswordOnly	When set to true this will mean that a person cannot use Mother's maiden name, NINO or first school as a password. The only option will be 'a password of your choice'. It is this option that is subsequently affected by the settings below
SecureRetrievePasswordLengthMin	This allows you to change the minimum length of the password the user must provide. The default is 8 digits long
SecureRetrievePasswordLengthMax	This allows you to change the maximum length of the password the user must provide. The default is 16 digits long.
SecureRetrieveNumberMixOfUpperAndLower	This setting when true means that the password they provide must contain a mixture of upper and lower case characters. I.e. if the password was 8 digits long and set to IEEGFOUR it would not be allowed if this setting was true. But iEEG4FOUR would
SecureRetrieveNumberOfLetters	This setting controls the number of letters that need to be present within the password the user sets up I.e. you can control the number of letters the customer needs to provide in their password
SecureRetrieveNumberOfDigits	This setting controls the number of numbers that need to be present within the password the user sets up I.e. you can control the number of numbers the customer needs to provide in their password
SecureRetrieveNumberOfNonAlphaNumeric	This setting controls the number of non-letter or number based characters that need to be present within the password the user sets up I.e. you can control the number of special characters the customer needs to provide in their password. E.g. !@£$%^&*()
SecureRetrieveCaptchaControl	This provides the ability for you add a captcha control to the form retrieval process. The purpose of this is to completely remove the capability for repeat brute force hacking capability.
TransactionNumberRandomStringCharacters	This allows you to set the actual characters that can be used in the random generation of a reference. The default characters used are: BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ However, you can use whichever you want e.g. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890 Would ensure upper, lower, and numbers are used in a reference number. If this were the case for an 8 digit reference number it could look like this: 4qApf5Xc But it important to note that these characters could be anything i.e. you could set this to: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890!@£$%^&*()_+|~ Meaning that an 8 character reference number could be: 4~Apf5X! Where this is the case, the number of combinations for an 8 digit reference increases significantly to: 1,113,034,787,454,976 (1 quadrillion) For perspective if a hacker were to try every second to get into your data it would take them 35,294,101 (35 million) years to go through each combination
BrandedHardCopyStylesheet_v2	This is a setting that typically will need to be added by IEG4. Once added it enables you to have a custom CSS file linked to the format of your PDFs.

UploadWhiteList	This is a setting for the Upload of evidence in forms. This controls the types of files that are permitted. This list would normally only be used if a specific type of file is allowed, as the black list is present below to prevent any disallowed file types. File types are added using their extension and multiple types can be added by separating them with a comma. For example if only MS Word documents were allowed you could add the following: doc,docx
UploadBlackList	The black list is the list of files which are NOT allowed to be uploaded. This allows specific file types known to be commonly used for viruses to be listed

UploadTotalQuota	This is the maximum limit of ALL files uploaded i.e. roughly 30MB is what it is set to now but can be changed by you.
EnableAutoActionRetry	Sometimes the back office will be down and as a consequence we keep a copy of a file for it to be re-processed. We’ve recently added the ability for the system to automatically attempt to repost items where the back office is down. Thereby saving any manual intervention needed because of down time in the back office.
WaitMinutesBeforeActionRetry	This is the amount of time in minutes before the system will attempt a retry
ActionRetryMaxDaysCutoff	This the maximum number of days the system will attempt to repost a file if it continues to fail
