Choosing the right field type

Each field has been designed for a certain type of data. To get the most out of the platform, we must choose the fields taking into account their objectives.

Below is a list of each available field with brief explanations that will help us to know which one is the most appropriate in each situation.

For further information about their functions and how to set them up, visit their respective articles (you will find them linked to the end of their explanations).

 

Title

The “title” field allows us to organize and structure the form, identifying and separating each of its parts with a title, a subtitle or a text.

Single choice

The "single choice" field allows us to select a single option among several possibilities.

Single choice field

Although it has the same function as the "selector" field, in this case all the options will always be visible on the form. It is recommended to use it if the options are short or if we are interested in seeing all of them constantly on the form.

Dropdown

The "dropdown" field allows us to select a single option among several possibilities.

Dropdown field

Although it has the same function as the "single option" field, in this case the options will be hidden and we will be able to show them through a dropdown to select one of them. It is recommended to use it if the options are extensive or if we are interested in seeing only the chosen option once the field is filled in.

Attachment

The "attachment" field allows us to add an independent file that offers additional information to the one contained in the main document.
Attachment field

Its function is similar to the “annex” field’s, but in this case the attached document will accompany the original one without being attached to it, so they will be saved separately.

Annex

The "annex" field allows us to add an independent file that offers additional information to the one contained in the main document.
Annex field

Its function is similar to the “attachment” field, but in this case the attached documents will be saved together with the original document, being automatically combined and appearing sequentially at the end.
