There are a few ways to find a field name or value on a Quik! form. Each method is described below.

...

To see an individual field name on a form, follow the instructions below for inspecting form fields in the Quik! Form Viewer.

Chrome for Windows (PC)

1. The first thing you'll need to do is open up a Quik! Form. For this example we'll be using a Pershing Retirement Plan form shown below. (FormID 5653)

2. Next we'll want to locate a field on a form that we're wanting to learn its name or value. (Values are often associated with check boxes)

3. Let's look up the field name and value for the first check box for "401(k) PLAN"

4. Taking your mouse, hover over the check box and perform a 'right mouse button click'. This will pull up a new contextual menu. We'll then want to click on the bottom selection, titled, "Inspect".

5. Clicking "Inspect" will open up a side panel within Chrome's browser window. The panel contains all the HTML code that powers a Quik! form. 

6. The right panel will highlight the section that you chose to inspect. Take notice of the blue highlighted sections. The dark blue section contains the code we'll want to gather from the field or checkbox.

7. Zooming in on the section, look for name. Within quotes directly after name is the specific name of the check box or field that we're looking for. 
   "QuikRadio5653.1acc.RegType" (Quotes should be disregarded)

8. In this same section, locate value="57" towards the bottom. 57 is the value for that checkbox and the one we'll be using. (Quotes should be disregarded)

9. That's it! You now have the Quik! field name and its associated value.
   name="QuikRadio5653.1acc.RegType"
   value="57"
   
   Important: When prefilling checkboxes with data, it is imperative that customers remove the "QuikRadio<Form ID #>" prefix from the FieldName value. For example, when attempting to prefill the “QuikRadio38002.1acc.RegType" field, the FieldName value supplied to the form should be “1acc.RegType".

Adobe Acrobat Pro (PDF)

Another option is to download or print the PDF version and open it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (or possibly a similar application).

In Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can choose the option “Prepare Form” from the toolbar to view all field names. It will look like this:

Please note that we do not recommend printing the form from the HTML viewer, because the field names will slightly differ from the original field name.
