How do I confirm that a hidden form field is populating?

You can use Chrome Developer Tools to confirm whether a hidden form field is being populated with Demandbase data.

  1. Open the Forms Enrichment page in Google Chrome from a company IP address.
  2. Go to View > Developer > Developer Tools.
  3. Select the Elements tab.
  4. Search for the name of the form field you expect Demandbase to populate. For example, NumberOfEmployees.
  5. Confirm that the field has a value assigned.

If the field value is blank, confirm that the field is mapped correctly in the Demandbase field map:

  1. Open Chrome Developer Tools.Select the Console tab.
  2. Enter the following command and press Enter:
    Demandbase.Config.forms.fieldMap
  3. Expand the JavaScript object.
  4. Confirm that your form uses the field names listed in the field map.

To add attributes to your field map, from the left navigation bar, go to Personalization_N.png Personalization > Forms Enrichment, open the enrichment configuration you want to update, and contact Demandbase Support.

Why are some fields blank on a form submission?

Some attributes are returned only by the Demandbase IP-API because they are specific to the visitor’s IP address, rather than to the selected or identified company.

If a visitor selects a company from the Company Autocomplete drop-down list or is identified by email domain, the following IP-specific attributes may not be populated:

  • Audience
  • audience_segment
  • ip
  • isp
  • registry_attributes

Why is the Company Autocomplete list center-aligned?

If the Company Autocomplete list is center-aligned, the page’s existing CSS may be overriding the default menu alignment.

To left-align the entries in the Company Autocomplete menu, add the following CSS rule at the end of the cascade:

#demandbase-autocomplete .ui-menu .ui-menu-item a {
 text-align: left;
}

What happens when visitors type international characters in the Company Autocomplete field?

The Company Autocomplete widget performs alphabetical company-name matching using Roman characters only.

If a visitor enters non-Roman characters in the Company field, the autocomplete list can still populate suggested companies based on the visitor’s IP address and email address.
