Filledin

Filledin is a term used to describe content or fields that have been completed by supplying the required information or material. It is typically written as two words, filled in, or hyphenated as filled-in in certain style guides. The root is the verb phrase fill in, meaning to provide missing details or to complete a blank.

In forms and documents, a filled-in field or form has all required data entered, whereas an incomplete form is missing information. In digital data entry, validation rules often enforce that certain fields must be filled in before submission. The concept is central to surveys, applications, and records management, where completeness affects processing and eligibility.

In puzzles and word games, the term can describe grids or problems that have been completed with correct answers. A filled-in crossword, for example, means all the letters have been placed according to the clues. Similarly, a filled-in schedule or template indicates that the planned content has been provided.

In other contexts, filled-in can describe materials or surfaces that have been deposited or completed with a substance, such as a cavity that has been filled in with a filler material. The exact connotation depends on the domain, but the core idea remains consistent: something has been completed by adding the necessary content or material.
