A. Form Creation and Editing

III. Question Types

Introduction:

The field menu on the "Add a field" tab allows you to build forms easy by using the pre built templates for the fields. You can click on the name of the field you would like to add. For example, you could click "Single Line Text", and this will add a single line text field to your form.

Each field that you add is placed directly below the previous field. You can also drag the name of the field directly to the location where you would like the field to be located.

Fields can take on other requirements such as required, no duplicates, everyone and admin only.

Question Type Rules

Furthermore, default value and guideline may be displayed for the specified fields. Custom CSS classnames can be added to create advanced and alternative layouts for the fields in your forms.

Some fields have built-in validation:

1. Fields contain special settings

Date - in a date field, you may want all data to meet the format of MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY. Validation ensures that this happens. A pop up calendar will appear next to the Date field, which allows users to easily select a date with their mouse.
