classification | type | 1..1 | A list of different types of feedback the user can provide |
to | string | 1..1 | The email address the feedback should be sent to |
emailDomain | string | 0..1 | Set a default From address email domain. If this value is set the From email address will be made based on the user id and this domain (unless the user is anonymous). If this value is not set, or the user is anonymous, the user will have to enter a From address when submitting feedback. Setting this value only makes sense if users must log in to access the system. |
subjectPre | string | 0..1 | A prefix to include in the email subject. This value, followed by ": ", will be prepended to the Subject value the user enters, allowing the submitted emails to be filtered more easily. |
includeMap | boolean | 0..1 | Set the default state of the "Include Map" input field, default it true. |
