How to implement pre-filled fields, text areas and data tables
This guide will explain how to implement pre-filled fields, text areas and data tables.
When creating and editing sections in a custom learning plan template, you can also set up prefilled custom learning plan fields, text areas and data tables that contain the same information across all plans that use them.
To access a list of your school’s custom learning plan fields, text areas and data tables, click on theÌýcreate new sectionÌýbutton when viewing a template.
Alternatively, you can also click on theÌýpencilÌýicon on an existing section.
Performing either of these actions will bring up theÌýNew section / Edit sectionÌýpopup, which contains three lists of available learning plan fields, learning plan text areas and custom data tables.
Converting a plan field to pre-filled

Note: If you later decided to convert the plan field back to normal, the hidden data will reappear on all plans that use the plan field.
Next, enter a new value for the plan field that will be applied to all plans. Click on theÌýOKÌýbutton to confirm your choice.
The plan field will now be successfully converted to a prefilled plan field, as indicated by theÌý(pre-filled)Ìýlabel in theÌýNameÌý³¦´Ç±ô³Ü³¾²Ô.
