You can set the tab index order of the form template.

To set the tab index order of a page on the form template:

  1. In the Template ribbon group, click Tab Index Order to display the Tab Index Order pane to the right of the Pages pane.

    The Tab Index Order window displays every control in the selected page and the tab index order that is assigned to each control.

    Note:

    The default value for the controls listed in the Tab Index Order pane is 0 (zero). If you assign higher values to controls, the tab index order starts with the controls that still have a value of 0 (zero).

  2. To change the tab index order of the controls on a page, enter the appropriate value in the text box under the ID of each control.
    Tip:

    When you select a control, the control is highlighted in the Tab Index Order pane and the Designer. You can move up and down the list of controls either by using the up and down arrows on the keyboard or by clicking the appropriate arrow in the top-right corner of the Tab Index Order pane.

    You can remove a control from the tab index order by assigning it a value of -1. A control that has this value is no longer able to be accessed when selecting controls using the Tab key.

    Note:

    When using the Tab key to navigate through the tab index order, the controls with a tab index value of 0 (zero) are navigated to first. After all the controls with a tab index value of 0 (zero) are navigated to, the tab index order continues to the next lowest non-zero tab index value until it reaches the highest tab index value. Once the highest tab index value is reached, the controls with a tab index value of 0 (zero) are navigated to again.

  3. Click Apply to apply the changes made to the tab index order. A dialog box is displayed.

    Click Yes to apply the new tab order index to the form template.

  4. Click Reset to reset all of the controls on the selected page to a value of 0 (zero). A dialog box with a message saying Are you sure you want to reset all tab index values to 0? is displayed. Click Yes to reset the values of all the controls on the selected page.
  5. To display the tab index order of a different page, select another page in the Pages window. The Tab Index Order pane updates to display the newly selected page's controls and their tab index order.
  6. Click Close to close the Tab Index Order pane.

The following limitations apply when working with the tab index order:

  • The maximum tab index value that can be assigned to a control is 32767.

  • The Tab Index property is not available for sections, panels, paragraphs, or images.

  • The Tab Index property is not available for controls that are placed inside of a repeating section, table, or nested table. These controls inherit the tab index value of their containers.
