Form field types
Forms support multiple field types, covering text inputs, selections, file uploads, signatures, and structured contact details. 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.
- Slider for sliding-scale responses between a minimum and maximum value.
- Date with a date picker for deadlines, start dates, and appointments.
- Dropdown for selecting one option from a predefined list.
- Multiple choice for single or multi-select answers displayed as a visible list of options.
- Picture choice for visual single-choice or multi-choice selections where each option includes an image alongside a label.
- File upload for documents, images, and other attachments.
- Signature for capturing drawn signatures directly in the form.
- 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.
Consent checkboxes and agreement confirmations can be built using Multiple choice in single-select mode.
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.
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.
