Available Question Types in FlowyForm
Versatile Fields for Every Use Case
FlowyForm offers a wide variety of question types to ensure you can capture the exact information you need. Whether you are building a simple contact form, a complex survey, or a formal agreement, our builder has the right tool for the job.
1. Contact & Identity
These fields are optimized for identifying your respondents and ensuring follow-up communication is seamless.
- Contact Info Field: A grouped block designed to collect names and addresses in one step.
- Email Field: Includes built-in validation to ensure respondents enter a correctly formatted email address.
- Phone Number Field: Optimized for mobile input to capture contact numbers quickly.
- Signature Field: Allows respondents to provide handwritten digital signatures directly on their screen.
2. Text Input
Use these for open-ended feedback or specific short-form data.
- Single Line Field: Perfect for short answers like "Job Title" or "Website URL."
- Multi Line Field: Best for longer responses, such as "Comments" or "Project Descriptions."
3. Choice & Selection
Standardize your data by providing respondents with predefined options.
- Select Field (Single Choice): Users choose one option from a visible list.
- Checkbox Field (Multiple Choice): Allows users to select one or more options from a list.
- Dropdown Field: Saves vertical space by tucking options into a selectable menu—ideal for long lists like "State" or "Country."
- Yes/No Field: A simple, high-speed toggle for binary questions.
4. Ratings & Feedback
Measure sentiment and satisfaction with specialized scales.
- Star Rating Field: A classic visual way for users to rate products or services out of five or ten.
- Opinion Scale Field: Also known as a Likert scale, this helps you measure the intensity of a respondent's feelings (e.g., 0 to 10).
5. Date & Time
Organize schedules or capture specific milestones.
- Date Field: A dedicated calendar picker for choosing specific days.
- Date Time Field: Combines a calendar picker with a time selector for precise scheduling.
6. Utility & Structure
These fields help manage the flow and functionality of your form.
- Message Field: Use this to provide context, instructions, or transitions between sections without requiring an answer.
- File Field: Allows respondents to upload documents, images, or other files directly to your form.
- Thank You Field: The final screen of your form where you can confirm submission and provide next steps.
Pro-Tip: Data Validation
Whenever possible, use the specific field type for the data you want. For example, using the Email Field instead of a Single Line Field ensures that FlowyForm automatically blocks invalid entries, saving you from cleaning up your data later!
