Create a Form

Every form belongs to one of your companies, which gives it its logo and colours. You can start from blank, from a ready-made form, or by copying a form you already use.

Steps

1. On your dashboard, click + New form (or New form in the menu on the left).
2. Type the Form name. Applicants see this name at the top of the form.
3. Choose the Company the form is for.
4. Under How do you want to start?, pick one:
   • Blank: build it question by question.
   • From the form library: opens the library of ready-made forms. See Start from the form library.
   • Copy from Snapforms: paste the link of a Snapforms form.
   • From a PDF, Word file or photo: Formhub reads your existing form and builds it for you to check.
   • From a saved design: load a saved design file (.json) downloaded from Formhub.
5. Click Create and open builder.
6. Drag questions from the list on the left onto your form. See Add and edit questions.
7. Click Save at the top right.

For the copy options, see Bring your existing forms.

Good to know

• If you have no company yet, the window asks you to add one first. See Add a company.
• A new form takes its receiving email addresses and thank-you message from Settings for all forms. You can change them for each form in Form settings.
• A new form is turned on straight away. Until you save some questions, its link shows "This form is being prepared. Please check back soon."
• Click Save often. The builder shows Unsaved changes until you do, and warns you if you try to leave. You can also press Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on a Mac).
• You can't move a form to another company later. To use it for another company, duplicate it.
• How many forms you can have depends on your package. If you reach the limit, Formhub tells you. See Packages and billing.

Questions

Can I rename a form later? Yes. Change the name at the top of the builder and click Save, or choose Rename on the form's ⋯ menu on the dashboard. The form's link stays the same.
