Additional tasks for capturing and presenting data

Attachment, location, and user-reference fields provide advanced functionality for how users interact with a form. For example, you can configure an attachment field to allow users to attach resumes to a case, or configure a location field to allow users to enter a shipping address with the aid of a map.
