This page covers essential insights about Zoho Creator, a dynamic form builder, including how to seamlessly add, delete, and rearrange fields using the intuitive field palette, along with in-depth customizations in field properties.
The form builder is where you create and customize forms. It includes the Field Palette, Building Space, and Field Properties as key components.
What does the term "building space" signify in the context of form creation?
Building space is located in the form builder's center and is where you define the fields that your form will contain. You can manage the fields in your form, which include:
- Adding a new field in your form
- Rearranging your form's fields and separating them into one-, two-, and three-column layouts
- Deleting a field from your form: When you delete a field from your form, it is removed from the building space. There is no data loss, because the data entered in this field is stored in the relevant module rather than in Creator.
