Overview

What is the signup form?

Components of a signup form

A signup form comprises three field types- mandatory, optional, and custom.

In mandatory fields, data like name, address, captcha, and terms and conditions. Data like about me, custom terms, and time zone fields will be present in optional fields.

For custom fields, you can create as many fields as you want to get personalized data from users. For example, you can add a field saying 'Interests' to collect the data about users' hobbies.
