FAQs: Components of Form

This page covers essential aspects of Zoho Creator, including fields and buttons, themes, form sections, label placement, review and access properties, and how to customize field names for optimal workflow management.

What are the basic components of a form?

The basic components of a form include:
  1. Fields
  2. Form Editor
  3. Field Properties
  4. Form Properties
  5. Form Actions Icon (Rename, Duplicate, Delete)
  6. Themes
  7. Label Placement
  8. Sections

What are fields and buttons?

Fields: Fields act as a place where the user can enter specific data. Creator offers many fields types, each designed to capture a particular kind of data. For example, a phone field to collect phone number contacts. The form builder allows you to modify the properties of each field to suit your unique requirements.
Buttons: The presence of buttons on a form causes it to perform specific actions, like submitting, updating, or clearing the data entered. Additionally, you can design workflows that these buttons can be clicked to initiate.

What are Themes and how can they be applied to forms?

Themes are essential in shaping the visual identity of your Creator application. They enable you to pick the ideal style and color scheme that appeals to your target market and reflects the personality of your brand.
The user experience is enhanced by themes in addition to the overall visual appeal. They make it easier for users to navigate between the different parts of your application by offering a unified and consistent look. The use of themes allows you to make a lasting impression on your users while ensuring a fun and easy-to-use Creator application overall. Learn more about themes.
To apply a theme, navigate to themes next to the app menu builder and select a theme of your choice.

What is the purpose of a section?

The components of your application are divided into sections that are displayed. This makes navigation simpler for users by giving them a visual and logical grouping of your application's components. 
The following adjustments to your application's user experience can be made using sections:
  1. Arrange the forms, reports, and pages into logical groups
  2. Put forms, reports, and pages in a section and then hide that section to keep them hidden from users
The theme and device you've chosen for your application will determine where the sections are placed. Learn more about sections.

Where can I review and access the properties of a form?

To view and change the properties of a form, click the Properties icon. The Form Properties panel will open on the right.
