Bulk Entry is a functionality within Apricot's option fields that allows you to quickly add multiple options to a field all at once, rather than manually entering them one by one. This is particularly helpful when building Lookup Lists or populating option fields with a large number of choices. To learn more about Lookup Lists, click here.

Follow the steps listed below to learn how to make data entry more efficient for your users when utilizing option fields in forms.

Step 1: View the option field's properties

Click the gear icon at the top-right of the option field's box in the Form Designer, then click the Bulk Entry button under Field Choices.

Step 2: List the option values

You can paste the list of option values for this field into the text box. Separate each option value using the Enter key, then click "Save Options" to convert the text into a set of options.


Step 3: Save your changes

Click "Apply" at the bottom of the Field Properties window to save your settings.
