FAQs: Components of Form Builder
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.
What is the form builder and what is it made up of?
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.
What is the Field Palette in Zoho Creator and where can it be found?
This section contains a list of all the fields that can be added to your form. You can view all of them by scrolling through the field palette.
The field palette pane is located on the left side in the form builder.
Fields are broadly classified as basic, advanced, special and AI fields.
How do I add fields to my form in Zoho Creator's form builder?
You can simply drag and drop a field from the field palette to the building space in the form builder or just double click it.
Can I rearrange the fields in my form?
Yes, absolutely!
You can simply drag and drop the field and rearrange the fields to your requirement.
If I delete a field from my form, will it result in any data loss?
Yes, it will result in data loss. Therefore, when deleting a field, we will either request double confirmation from the user or suggest that they take a backup before proceeding.

Can I customize the name and link name of my field using the options available in the More menu?
