Fill In Changing Details with Form Premium

On this page

A Form field is a Placeholder for details that change each time, such as a customer's name or a price. When you type the Keyword, Typing Hero asks you to fill in each field, then inserts the completed Template.

Form is most useful when a Template has more than one changing detail. For a single detail, use Cursor instead, because typing straight into the field is faster.

Add a Form field

  1. Open the Text Snippet.
  2. Tap in the Template where the detail should go.
  3. Tap Form in the row of Placeholder buttons.
  4. In the Form field dialog, enter a name for the detail, such as Name.
  5. Tap Insert.
  6. Tap Save (Save).

A label can have up to 50 characters and can't contain a closing brace (}).

Use the same label in two places to fill both with one answer.

Use the Text Snippet

  1. Type the Keyword.
  2. Fill in each field.
  3. Tap Insert.

Every field requires an answer, so Insert stays dimmed until you fill them all.

To stop without inserting, tap Cancel.

Example

You type ,estimate on 4 November and fill in Name, Service, and Price:

Result for ,estimate

Hi Mica,
The quote for Photo Shoot Premium is $420.
Let me know if you'd like to go ahead by 11 November.

The dollar sign is part of the Template, so you enter only the number in Price.

The last date is a Date Offset of 7 days.
