Configure text, number, and choice fields

Use answer fields when a recipient needs to describe a preference, provide a quantity, or choose from options.

Choose the field type

• Generic Text accepts text. Choose Single Line for a short answer or Paragraph for a longer response.

• Generic Number accepts a number. Choose Integer for whole numbers or Decimal when fractional values are meaningful.

• Multiple Choice provides one selectable option.

• Multiple Select allows more than one option.

Choose the type based on the answer you need to review. For example, use Multiple Choice for one service level and Multiple Select for several preferred colors. Use Generic Number for a guest count when a numeric answer is easier to review than free text.

Add a text or number field

1. Select Add Field and choose Generic Text or Generic Number.

2. Enter Question Text (appears as bold).

3. Add description text if the expected format needs explanation.

4. Choose Text Type or Number Type.

5. Turn on Required when the answer is necessary.

The public form uses a single-line or paragraph input for Generic Text and a numeric input for Generic Number.

This text field asks for a floral style description and uses Paragraph to give the recipient room for a longer answer.

For a guest count, Integer accepts a whole number. The question and description explain which number the recipient should enter.

Add options

1. Add a Multiple Choice or Multiple Select field.

2. Enter the question and optional description.

3. Under Options, select Add Option.

4. Select an option chip to edit its text, then confirm the edit.

5. Use the chip's delete control to remove an option.

The options are the choices the recipient sees. Review them for clarity before sharing the form.

This Multiple Choice example offers two palette directions. The option chips below the description are the choices recipients will see.
