Form fields overview

Forms RB has 13 field types, plus a Calculation field in PRO. Add them from the strip at the top of the Builder tab, as many as the form needs.


Fields for answers

Field What it is for
Text A short answer on one line: a name, a city, a subject
Email An email address; the form checks that it looks like one
Long text A message, a question, a description
Phone A phone number
Number A quantity or an amount
Date A date, picked from a calendar
Dropdown One choice from a list
Radio buttons One choice, with every option in view
Checkboxes Several choices from a list
Agreement checkbox One box to tick: terms of sale, privacy policy, consent
File upload A file from the visitor, see File uploads

Fields for layout

Field What it is for
Heading A title that splits a form into parts
Divider A line between parts of a form

These two collect nothing and do not appear in submissions.


Calculation (PRO)

A Calculation field shows a total or a quote worked out from the other answers, while the visitor fills in the form. See Calculations.

Without the PRO key, the field is left out of the form and nothing is stored for it.


Which field to choose

  • Up to about five options: Radio buttons show them all at once. For a longer list use a Dropdown.
  • If more than one answer can be right, use Checkboxes.
  • For consent use an Agreement checkbox and mark it Required, so the form cannot be sent without it.
