The Text Field allows users to provide textual responses to questions or prompts.
There are two different types of text fields you can configure in the Form Builder:
Short Answer Field (Default Setting)
A text input field, designed for succinct single-line responses, is the most frequently utilised for capturing essential information such as given names, surnames, suburbs, or any other inquiries that demand a concise answer.
Long Answer Field (Multiline Setting)
This text field is designed to accept a comprehensive response over several lines—this could include descriptions or comments. Its capacity is dynamic, expanding with the content entered unless the character limit has been predetermined.
Step-by-Step Guide:
In the Form Fields panel (on the right-hand side of your screen), drag and drop the Text field onto your form, or click on the Add Item button and choose the Text field from the list.
Write a question or prompt.
Optional customisable for text fields:
Add a Placeholder text to give respondents a helpful hint about what information they should put in the input field.
Add Max Characters to restrict the total number of characters a respondent can enter in their response.
Click on Multiline to change settings to a long answer field. The text field will present as a short answer field if not selected.
Select Input Required if you want to make sure this field is answered.
Select Show Time Entered for an automatic date & time stamp with each answer.
Select Show User Last Edited to capture user details, which is excellent for authenticity.
