Overview
Fields are the building blocks of your forms. To get the right data from your respondents, you need to choose the appropriate form fields based on the details that you wish to collect.
A form field typically consists of:
- Field Name: The text or label that denotes what data the field captures
- Input area: The input box, dropdown, radio button, checkbox, or a combination of these input elements which a user can use to enter data in the field
Zoho Forms provides a variety of form fields ranging from simple text boxes to complex formula fields. You can collect payments in your order forms, perform calculations, assign a unique ID to each form entry received, and do much more using the various fields available.
You can choose to keep certain form fields to be mandatory for the respondents to fill, accept unique responses from your respondents, hide or disable certain fields, and more.
The fields in the form builder are broadly categorized into 11 sections with the following fields:
- Grid: 1-Column, 2-Column, 3-Column
- Basic Info: Name, Address, Phone, Email, and Website
- Textbox: Single Line and Multi Line
- Number: Number, Decimal, Formula, and Currency
- Choices: Dropdown, Radio, Checkbox, Multiple Choice and Image Choices
- Matrix Choices: Radio, Checkbox, Dropdown, Textbox, Number, and Currency
- Date & Time: Date, Time, Date-Time, and Month-Year
- Uploads: File Upload, Image Upload, and Audio/Video Upload
