Form field types
Forms support 20 field types, covering text inputs, selections, file uploads, signatures, and hidden fields. Each field type handles a specific kind of input, so forms collect exactly the data needed without workarounds.
Available field types
Here's the full set of field types available in the form builder:
- Short text for names, titles, and brief answers.
- Long text for detailed descriptions, notes, and open-ended responses.
- Email with built-in format validation.
- Phone with international format support.
- Number for quantities, budgets, and numeric values.
- Date with a date picker for deadlines, start dates, and appointments.
- Dropdown for selecting one option from a predefined list.
- Multi-select for choosing multiple options from a list.
- Checkbox for yes/no confirmations and agreement acceptance.
- Radio buttons for single-choice selections displayed as a visible list.
- File upload for documents, images, and other attachments.
- Signature for capturing drawn signatures directly in the form.
- Rating for star-based or numeric feedback.
- Scale for sliding-scale responses between a minimum and maximum value.
- Full name with first name and last name fields pre-structured for contact details.
- Address with structured fields for street, city, postcode, and country.
- Country with a pre-populated country selector including international options.
- Link/URL for collecting website addresses, portfolio links, or any URL with format validation.
- Picture choice for visual single-choice or multi-choice selections where each option includes an image alongside a label.
- Hidden fields for passing data through the form URL without showing anything to the respondent, useful for tracking sources and campaign tags.
Required and optional fields
Each field can be marked as required or optional. Required fields must be filled in before the form can be submitted, and a validation message appears if a respondent tries to skip one. Optional fields let respondents provide additional information without blocking submission.
Conditional logic
Fields can be shown or hidden based on answers to previous questions. A dropdown answer of "Yes" can reveal a follow-up text field, while "No" skips past it entirely. Conditional logic keeps forms focused by only showing fields relevant to each respondent's answers, so shorter forms stay short and longer forms adapt to the context.
Help text and placeholders
Each field supports placeholder text inside the input and help text below it. Placeholder text disappears when the respondent starts typing, while help text stays visible throughout. Both guide respondents on what to enter and in what format, which reduces incomplete or incorrectly formatted submissions.
