Feedback page set up in the Create Page Wizard
However, one attribute requires a bit more explanation because its benefit isn't immediately obvious. The
Extra Attributes field allows you to add up to ten custom fields to your Feedback page. These are sometimes called
flex fields
. These fields can be used to prompt end users for additional information when they submit feedback.
For example, a public APEX web site requires no login; therefore, the user's identity can't be captured automatically.
The extra attributes can be used to capture the user's name and e-mail so the feedback response can be sent to them.
Click the Create button, and then run the application. You now see the Feedback link in the navigation bar
(see Figure
15-20
). If you can't use the default Feedback link in your design, you can move it anywhere you like in
your application. The link uses the standard APEX
f?p
syntax.
