Now that you're familiar with the different parts of the form you're ready to start adding fields. Fields are pieces of input that the person filling out the form is asked to provide. Fields are added to the form by clicking them from the left of the page and dragging them into a section on the right. For instance, you might add a Boolean field if you want the person to answer a simple Yes/No question. You might add a Text or Memo field if you want the person to provide a typed answer to a question. There are many field options for gathering different types of data from the person. Let's look at adding some fields to a form.

Adjusting Field Settings

There are many types of fields you can add to your form, and each of them has unique settings that are specific to the field. For instance, if you use a Single-Select then you'll need to provide a list of values that the person can choose from. We won't cover every possible field and its configuration in this document, but there are elements that all fields on your form share.

Let's pause for a moment to talk a little bit more about the Column Span setting referenced above. The width of your form is broken up into 12 equal sized columns. So, adding a field that is 12 columns wide means that the field will be the full width of the form. If you want multiple fields on the same line/row, you can reduce the widths of the fields. For instance, a field that is six columns wide can be on the same line as another field that is six columns wide. In that case both fields would be half the width of the form. Or you could have four fields that are each three columns wide, allowing all four fields to be on the same line. The key is remembering you have 12 columns total to work with.
