Options for lists and ratings
List and Rating fields have a second tab for their choices. Click Add option and give each one a Label (what people see) and a Value (what's stored). You can add an image to each option too.
Marketing list fields
A Marketing list field is a tick box that signs the respondent up to the list you choose. Leave it optional so people can choose for themselves. If you make it Required, the form can't be sent without ticking it.
To use one, create the list first. See Manage marketing lists.
Field switches
| Switch | What it does |
|---|---|
| Required | The form can't be sent until this field is filled in. |
| Hidden | The field isn't shown. Use it to record a value you fill in yourself, like where the link was shared. |
| Lock when prefilled | If the field already has a value from the link or invitation, the respondent can't change it. |
| Multiple | List fields only. Lets the respondent pick more than one option. |
Hidden fields are filled in from a share link or email invitation. See Share a form with a link or QR code.
Remove a field
Archive a field to take it off the form. Its past answers stay with the submissions. Turn on Include archived to see archived fields and bring one back.
