Form structure

Pages

A form starts as one page. Split a longer form into pages, so respondents see a few questions at a time. Pages also let logic skip whole steps.

Add a page

1. 1

   Insert a Page Break

   Click Page Break in the Blocks tab, or type /page on the canvas. Everything below it becomes the next page.

2. 2

   Add questions and content

   Add any questions, text, columns, and media to each page.

3. 3

   Name the page (optional)

   Open the page break’s block menu and pick Set page name. Named pages are easier to choose in logic jumps.

Formstep adds Next and Back buttons, and Submit on the last page. Back returns to the pages the respondent saw. The thank-you page does not count as a page.

Progress bar

A form with more than one page shows a thin progress bar at the top. It counts every page in the form, so when logic skips pages, the bar jumps ahead. Skipped pages count as hidden: their questions are not required, and their answers are dropped. See Conditional logic.

Columns

Columns put blocks side by side, for example a name and an email on one row.

1. 1

   Insert a Columns block

   Click 2 Columns in the Blocks tab, or type /columns on the canvas.

2. 2

   Add blocks inside each column

   Click inside a column and add any block.

3. 3

   Move blocks between columns

   Drag a block from one column and drop it into another. To add a third column, drag a block to the side of a row.

On phones, columns stack on top of each other.

Move and change blocks

Drag a block by the handle (⋮⋮) on its left edge to move it up, down, to another page, or into a column. Click the handle to open the block menu. It shows only what fits that block, such as Turn into, Options, Validation, Mark as required, Duplicate, Move up, and Delete.

• Turn into changes a question to a related type without losing what you typed. Text inputs convert into each other, choice questions (Ranking and picture choice included) into each other, and Star Rating and Linear Scale into each other.

• Hide keeps a block in the form but hides it from respondents. Logic can show it later.

• Create repeating group wraps the block, or the selected blocks, into a repeating group.

To change several blocks at once, drag a rectangle around them or shift-click a second block, then use the handle menu. The settings each question has are on Question settings.
