Adding fields to a form template allows you to customise forms to collect the specific information you need from users. This is especially useful when creating forms for tasks like on-boarding, training feedback, or incident reporting, where different types of data may be required. For example, you might add a date field for logging an event, a drop-down for department selection, or a text area for additional comments.
The default section type added when creating a new form template is the standard section, which is the only section that allows you to add a variety of field types.
🤓 Tip: To add additional standard sections to a form, in the form editor click +Add Section, then click Form.
