How to build a form

← Back

Create a section with the forms module and click “Add field” — fields are laid out by dragging across columns.

  1. Create a section and enter forms in the “Module” field.
  2. Open this section on the site. An administrator will see the builder toolbar.
  3. Click “Add field”, fill in “Field name *” and select the “Field type”.
  4. Save. The field will appear on the form — then you can drag it to the desired column and position.

Headings and explanations are also fields: the “Heading” and “Text (paragraph)” types. They divide the form into meaningful parts.

The “Download form” and “Upload form” buttons transfer the entire form: with fields, order, and settings. Handy when the same questionnaire needs to be replicated on another site.

If it didn't work

  • No toolbar. Only an administrator sees the builder — check that you're logged in.
  • It says the section couldn't be determined. The form is tied to a section: open it at its own address, not via a direct link to the file.
  • The field won't drag. You need to drag by the field's handle, not by the label.
