Building a form
The form builder has five tabs: Build (fields and layout), Design (branding), Logic (conditional rules), Document (appears once you attach a template), and Settings. This page covers the first three. Everything autosaves as a draft — nothing is public until you publish.
Fields
In the Build tab, add fields from the palette on the left. They're grouped into inputs, choices, and advanced.
Inputs
| Field | For |
|---|---|
| Short text | Names, titles, single-line answers |
| Long text | Messages, descriptions, anything multi-line |
| Email addresses, validated on submit | |
| Phone | Phone numbers |
| Website | URLs |
| Number | Quantities, amounts, ages |
| Date | A calendar date |
| Time | A time of day |
Choices
| Field | For |
|---|---|
| Dropdown / radio | Pick one option from a list |
| Multi select | Pick several options |
| Checkbox | A single yes/no agreement — terms, consent |
| Rating | A star rating |
Advanced
| Field | For |
|---|---|
| File upload | Let people attach a file |
| Image upload | Attach an image |
| Repeating items | A group of fields the respondent can add more than once — line items, guests |
| Hidden field | A value captured from the page URL rather than typed — for campaign tracking or pre-filling |
Select any field to edit it in the inspector: its label, help text, placeholder, whether it's required, and the options for choice fields.
Structure
Alongside fields, you can add layout blocks: a Heading to title a section, a Divider to separate groups, and 2- or 3-column rows to place fields side by side. On longer forms, split questions across multiple pages — a progress bar can be shown (see Settings → Options).
Logic
The Logic tab controls when a field appears. Add a rule to show or hide a field based on the answer to an earlier one — for example, only show "Which team?" if the person answered "Yes" to "Are you an employee?". People only ever see the questions that apply to them, and hidden fields are excluded from the submission.
Design
The Design tab controls how the form looks:
- Colours — set the primary colour and background.
- Logo and cover image — add your own branding to the top of the form.
- Thank-you message — written in Settings, but it inherits the same styling.
The public form and its embed both use these settings, so the form looks like yours wherever it's shared.
Next
- Publishing a form — get a public link or embed.
- Generating documents from a form — turn each response into a PDF.
