Finding Field Names And Values On A Form

Need to find a Field Name or Value on a Quik! Form? We'll outline below a step-by-step guide to finding the hidden field names and other values on a Quik! form. Each section will cover the process 

Google Chrome

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"
