How to use the Auto Complete feature on Web Forms

One of our goals is bringing services online is to make them as easy as possible to complete and fill out for any users. If there are ways to reduce human error, like typing a name out incorrectly, it's always best to add in measures to avoid it.

One great way to accomplish this is our Auto Complete field which allows you to create up to 1,000 values and allow the user to start typing and then auto-complete their response with the proper value and spelling in the form.
