Input Area: The input area is similar to a text box with the exception that it will  hold up to 1000 characters as compared to only 100 with the text box. To insert an input area, click the  button on the edit menu.

Name (Indicated by the red arrow): This is the name of the input area. This acts as a label for the input area, and will therefore appear to the left of the input area. 

Value (Indicated by the blue arrow): This is the default value that will appear inside  the input area when the form is loaded. This can be blank if desired.

Validation Type (Indicated by the orange arrow): This attribute will allow you to error check the information that the user enters. The data type can be verified as a date by selecting "Date" from the drop down menu, as a number by selecting "number", or as    text by selecting "text" from the drop down box.

Error Message (Indicated by the black arrow): This attribute will display an error message if the validation fails. Enter your custom error message as you would like it to appear.
