Standard Fields ie. Single lines, checkboxes, drop-downs and other simple fields.

Advanced Fields ie. Address, email, phone number, file upload and other advanced fields.

To start creating a form, drag a field from the right menu into the form builder.

Click on the field to edit it’s settings. You can change the field name, placeholder (Default is ‘Type here…’) and select whether the field is required or not.

To set conditional logic (a field only appears when another field has a certain answer), you can use the conditional logic settings of the field you want to appear. For the example below, I created a radio button field asking the user if they have a favourite colour, with a follow up question asking what that colour is based on their answer.

For the condition question (What is your favourite colour?), I have selected the Conditional Logic option from the bottom of the Field Settings of the selected field.

Active the Enable Conditional Logic tab, and then set the logic using the options. For the example below, I told the logic to only ask the user that their favourite colour is if they select ‘Yes’ to having a favourite colour.

To delete a field, hover over the field and click on the trash bin icon.

Once you have finished creating your form, click Save Form.

To delete a form, click on Forms in the side menu, and then hover on a form and click Trash.

Click Save/update to save any changes made to these emails.

Image Resolutions
