Add Form Elements

You have the ability to rearrange the different sections and add form elements to suit your needs and truly personalize your forms.

To add or move new Sections in your forms, review this document.

When you are in a section you will see a button in the lower right that says Add Form Element:

The types of Form Elements are broken into two categories:

• Collect Information: Add an element to your form to collect additional information from your supporters through various means that you can generate reports containing that data
• Design Form: Add an element to your form to personalize the look and feel of it.

Collect Information Elements

All Collect information elements have the same structure:

• Add the Display Label for what will be shown on the actual form. You can also provide basic instructions on what information you are asking for with this Label.
• Optionally add a Reporting Label so you can generate clean and simple reports.
  • If you want a separate Reporting Label, click edit after you have completed your Display Label.
    

You can use both Display and Reporting Labels across multiple forms. When you start to type the label, the field will show you other Form Element Labels from your other forms, so you can select that existing one if you like.

After you have the Display and Reporting Labels in place, you can work with the specifics of the type of element you are designing.

• Agree to Terms: If you have any posted Terms & Conditions posted that you want or need your supporters to agree to, you can use this element to create a text box with a link to your terms page on your website. For more information, click here.
