Configuring Form Fields and Layout

When you select a field in the builder workspace, its settings appear in the left configuration panel.

Selecting a field opens its settings panel, where general, field-specific, and layout settings can be adjusted.

General Field Settings

Most fields include General settings. General settings can include:

• Field Label is the name shown above the field on the public form.
• Instructions add helper text for the user.
• Required means the field must be completed before the form can be submitted.
• Hidden keeps the field from appearing to public users while still allowing the form to submit a stored value.
• Hide Label keeps the field visible but suppresses the label.
• Exclude from Email omits the field from notification emails that include form data. This does not remove the field from saved submission data.

Field-Specific Settings

Many fields also include field-specific settings. These settings depend on the selected field type.

Common field-specific settings include:

• Placeholder text
• Minimum or maximum character limits
• Minimum or maximum numeric values
• Accepted file types
• Default values
• Option lists
• Orientation
• Password requirements
• Date or time limits

Layout Settings

Layout settings control how fields line up in the public form.

Width settings can make a field span the full form width or share a row with other fields.

Next field starts new row forces the following field to begin on a new line, even if the width settings would otherwise allow it to appear on the same row.
