Additional Field Details

Content

Use the Content component to provide details or important information about your form. The information you enter here is for display only and is not saved as form data. You can format text using the toolbar and insert images.

Columns

Use the Columns component to display fields side by side. Configure the number of columns you want, then drag and drop fields into each column. Place layout components first, then add your fields within them.

Conditional Display

Use the Conditional field configuration to show or hide fields based on a submitter's input. This reduces unnecessary fields and streamlines the form completion experience.

For example, configure a "Family Relation" text field to appear only when a submitter selects "Yes" to the question "Do you have a family history of heart disease?"

For configuration steps, refer to Create a New Form.

Signature

The Signature field places a signature widget on the form. When a user selects the widget, a modal appears with the following options for adding a signature:

• Upload an image
• Draw a signature
• Type a signature

If you use a Signature field as part of a workflow Signature Approval Step, select an assignee in the Signature Properties panel while the signature field is selected. Use the Assignee Label dropdown to configure assignees. Refer to Add a Signature field:. For details on using signature fields in a workflow, refer to Build a Workflow.
