Add Text Element

Text helps you describe what to do on your form. Maybe you want people to choose things from a list. Describe it with a Text Element. Maybe you want to define different levels of sponsors. Use text! Any time you need more description anywhere on your form with formatting functionality, you can add a Text Element.

Descriptive Message Above Suggested Amounts Section

To add Text you may want to add it to its own Section, as outlined here.

When you're ready to add the text, select it from the Add Form Element button in (any of) the Sections.

Add Form Element


You will be presented with the Add Form Element - Text design page.

Add Form Element - Text (Blank)

Reporting Label

The Reporting Label or title of your Text Element is required to allow you to move it to different positions on your form or copy the element to a different form. Provide a descriptive title for your text element.

Text Field Value

Enter the text you wish to include in your element on your form.

Note: The default text will be the same as what is on your form by default (Font, Size, layout, etc.), so if you just need a brief description, you don't need to worry about formatting the text.

It uses the Rich Text Editor functionality so you can format your text in almost any way you wish.

If you know HTML formatting (or have someone who does), you can also click the <> icon to enter even more specialized formatting.

Source Code Example


Note: While it does allow you to do a lot with the formatting, it is not a completely open HTML design, so you cannot enter specialized scripts, etc. Any invalid HTML coding will not work.

Click Save once you have the text the way you wish and it will be added to your form.

Editing Text Elements

Often you will want to go back and forth from looking at your form to editing the text. Maybe bullets would be better, or you want bold text or larger text, and then change your mind, etc. 

Find the element to edit on your form - the Reporting Label is shown on your form designer - and click the edit icon to the right of it.

Edit your text and click Save.
