Form Field Types

Administrators Guide

Most fields collect data and some display information to people filling out the form and is not part of the submission.

Autocomplete

Collects Data

The Autocomplete field combines a text box and a dropdown. As users type, it suggests matching options from a list you define, making it ideal for long lists (such as countries or products) where scrolling a standard dropdown would be tedious.

Checkbox Group

Collects Data

The Checkbox Group field lets users select one or more options from a list you define. Unlike a Radio Group, it doesn’t limit users to a single choice, so they can check as many boxes as apply.

Date Field

Collects Data

The Date field lets users pick a date by typing it in or choosing it from a calendar picker, such as a deadline or appointment date. It’s a simple way to collect dates in a consistent format.

Header

Displays Text

The Paragraph field adds a block of text to your form, such as instructions or extra context for users. It doesn’t collect any input. It’s there to inform and guide users as they fill out the form.

Number

Collects Data

The Number field lets users enter numeric values only, such as quantities or amounts. It helps keep your data clean by preventing letters and other non-numeric characters from being entered.

Paragraph

Displays Text

The Paragraph field adds a block of text to your form, like instructions or extra context for users. It doesn’t collect any input — it’s just there to label and structure your form.

Radio Group

Collects Data

The Radio Group field lets users pick exactly one option from a list you define, with all choices visible at once. It’s ideal for a limited number of options. For a longer list, consider using the Select field instead.

Select

Collects Data

The Select field lets users choose one option from a dropdown list you define. It’s a space-saving way to offer several choices without showing them all on screen at once. If you only have a few options, consider using the Radio Group field instead.

Text Field

Collects Data

The Text field lets users type a short, free-form response, such as a job title. If you need longer responses, use the Text Area field instead.

Text Area

Collects Data

The Text Area field lets users type longer, free-form responses across multiple lines, such as comments, descriptions, or feedback. For short, single-line answers like a job title, use the Text field instead.
