Form Categories
There are three types of forms available. Each serves a different purpose based on the form’s layout and functionality needs.
Classic Form
A Classic Form provides a single-page layout where all form fields are displayed together.
Use this when you want users to complete the form quickly on a single page without navigating through multiple steps.
This layout is simple, efficient, and allows users to view and fill all fields at once.
Classic forms are designed for simplicity and speed. They are best suited for situations where users need to quickly submit information without the need for complex navigation or data segmentation. Since everything is visible on a single page, users can easily review their inputs before submitting the form.
Wizard Form
A Wizard Form allows users to complete a form in smaller, guided sections rather than displaying all fields at once.
This approach enhances the user experience—especially for lengthy or complex forms—by breaking the process into manageable steps.
Use this form type when your form contains multiple fields or grouped sections of information. It helps prevent user fatigue and makes navigation smoother.
How It Works:
- When you select Wizard as the form type during creation, the form builder automatically switches to a wizard-style layout.
- The wizard structure uses the Panel layout component to define each page.
- Upon switching to the wizard format, all existing fields are placed inside a Panel by default, representing the first page of the wizard.
Navigation: When rendered, the Wizard form provides navigation controls at the bottom, including:
- Cancel – to exit the form.
- Previous – to go back to the previous section.
- Next – to move forward to the next section.
Users can also navigate between pages using the header tabs at the top of the form, offering flexibility and better control throughout the form-filling process.
PDF Forms
PDF-First forms allow users to upload a PDF form and add overlay fields to the form, modernizing the traditional old and clunky PDF form. For a more in-depth guide on the PDF forms please navigate to the following documentation.
