Form Controls
Choose the right controls for layout, instructions, user input, files, signatures, and supporting content.
Controls are the building blocks of every form. Each control defines either something the user needs to provide, something the form should display, or how the form layout should be organized.
Most controls share common settings such as whether the control is required, how wide it should be in the form layout, whether it can be duplicated by the submitter, and whether it should be hidden from the client-facing form. Some controls also have specialized options, such as placeholder text, minimum and maximum values, custom dropdown choices, alignment, uploaded files, or display style.
Input Controls
Use input controls when the submitter needs to provide information. This includes text, numbers, dates, times, checkboxes, dropdowns, photos, and signatures.
Content Controls
Use content controls to display information inside the form. Labels, headers, links, images, PDFs, dividers, and spacers help explain the form and make it easier to follow.
Layout Controls
Use groups and column widths to organize controls. Groups can hold nested controls and help stack related fields beside taller content such as images or PDF documents.
The best control choice depends on what the user needs to do. If they are entering an answer, use an input control. If they need guidance, use a content control. If the page is becoming difficult to scan, use layout controls to organize the form into clearer sections.
