Add and edit questions

The form builder is where you put your form together. You drag questions in from the list on the left, then click a question to change it.

Add a question

1. Open the form in the builder (click its name on the dashboard).
2. Find the question type in Form fields or Design elements on the left. See Question types you can use.
3. Drag it onto the form, to the spot where you want it.
4. Its settings window opens. Type the Question, change anything else, then click Save in the window.
5. Click Save at the top right of the builder.

Change a question

Click a question to select it. Its buttons show above it: Edit, Move, Copy and Delete. Click Edit, or double-click the question, to open its settings.

The settings window shows the basics first:

• Question: the words applicants see.
• Mandatory: tick it if the form can't be sent until this is answered. Mandatory questions show a red star.
• Hint inside the box: grey example text inside the answer box.
• Help text (shown under the field).
• Width and Position: see Put questions side by side.

Click More options for extras such as Extra help (shown on a ? icon), Pre-filled answer, and Read only (people can't change it). Turn on Preview at the top of the window to see how people will see the question.

Move, copy or delete

• Move: drag the question by its Move button. A blue line shows where it will land.
• Copy: puts a copy just below it.
• Delete: removes it straight away. Click Undo at the bottom of the screen within a few seconds if you didn't mean it.

Keyboard shortcuts

With a question selected: Enter opens its settings, Delete removes it, Ctrl+D copies it, and Esc unselects it. Ctrl+S saves the form (Cmd on a Mac).
