Defining CGI export values
An export value is the information sent to a CGI application to identify a user-selected
form field. You need to define an export value only if both of the following are true:
● The data is collected electronically in a database over a company intranet or the web.
● The data is different from the item designated by the form field, or the form field is a radio
button.
When defining export values, keep the following guidelines in mind:
● Use the default export value Yes to indicate that a check box or radio button has been
selected.
● Enter an export value for combo boxes or list boxes only if you want the value to be
different from the item listed--for example, to match the name of the form field in a
database. The item selected in the combo box or list box is used as the export value unless
a different export value is explicitly entered in the Properties dialog box.
● Related radio buttons must have exactly the same form field name but different export
values. This ensures that the radio buttons toggle and that the correct values will be
collected in the database.
