Build your first form

1. Create the form

From Forms, choose New form. Give it a name — the slug for its public URL is derived from that name.

2. Add fields

Open the designer. You add fields two ways:

• Click a field in the left palette — it lands after whatever is selected.
• Drag a field from the palette onto the canvas — it lands exactly where you drop it. A line shows whether it will go above or below the row you are hovering.

Drag existing rows to reorder them. Drop onto Drop here to nest inside to put a field inside a group or repeat group.

Tip

Ctrl+Z undoes, Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes. Undo covers structural edits and property changes, so experiment freely.

3. Set properties

Select a row to edit it on the right: the title respondents see, the identifier used in templates and exports, whether it is required, and type-specific options.

Caution

The identifier is what your Word templates and exports reference ({{fields.site_name}}). It is generated from the title until you edit it. Renaming an identifier after templates exist will break those placeholders.

4. Preview

The Preview tab renders the form through the same code respondents get — not a lookalike. Submission is disabled there.

5. Save and publish

Save stores the schema and bumps the version. Publish the form, then share the public URL shown on the form page (/f/<slug>).

Next

• Attach a Word template so each submission generates paperwork.
• Send submissions somewhere with delivery.
