introduction forms serve as a crucial tool for gathering information within an organization, streamlining the process of data collection the two primary components of forms are inputs these are the fields that users interact with when filling out the form they facilitate the collection of data branches these allow for the conditional display of questions depending on a user's response to a previous input, branches can present additional inputs forms can accommodate a wide variety of input types, including text this can range from short answers and paragraphs to emails and phone numbers number for numerical data inputs checkbox this can either be a single select or multiple select, allowing users to choose from a list of options file upload this allows users to upload files such as pictures, videos, pdfs, or audio files date this can be a specific date (e g , 12/19/1996), time (e g , 12 00 pm), or a combination of both (e g , 12/19/1996 12 00 pm) signature this allows users to provide their signature as a form of confirmation or agreement inputs below are detailed descriptions of each input type each input type has a set of configuration options that can be used no matter what type of input, there are a few common configuration options name the label that is displayed for the input this can use rich text formatting description an optional description that is displayed below the name of the input when filling out the form this can use rich text formatting description hidden determines if the description is hidden by default (the user can toggle showing/hiding the description when filling out the form) required determines if the field is mandatory attached files attach files to the field for reference while filling out the submission visibility determines if the field is visible based on location attributes if set to show, the field will only be visible if the location for the submission satisfies at least one of the specified location attributes if set to hide, the field will always be visible unless the location for the submission satisfies at least one of the specified location attributes text input text inputs are used for collecting textual data from users they come in various forms short answer ideal for collecting brief responses, such as names or titles paragraph suitable for longer responses, like descriptions or comments email specifically for email addresses this input type includes validation to ensure the entered text follows the email format send submission to email if enabled, the form submission will be sent to the email address entered in the field phone number designed for phone numbers it includes validation for the format of a us phone number configuration options minimum length sets the smallest number of characters that can be entered maximum length sets the largest number of characters that can be entered number input number inputs are designed for collecting numerical data configuration options minimum value this sets the smallest number that can be entered maximum value this sets the largest number that can be entered checkbox input checkbox inputs allow users to select one or more options from a predefined list types single select allows users to select only one option multiple select allows users to select multiple options configuration options multiple selection allows users to select more than one option bulk options allows users to add options for each new line in the textarea, there is an options preview below it values lists the options from which users can choose delete a value by tapping on the x button next to it re order a value by tapping on the move button next to it and then tapping the "move here" box where you want to move it score assigns a score to each option this is used in formulas to calculate a value based on the selected options evaluation assign a pass/fail/neutral evaluation to each option if more than 5 options are set, then it will convert to a dropdown input instead of a checkbox input file upload file upload fields are designed for users to upload files of various types max file upload size is 12mib max number of files is 5 types picture accepts image files video accepts video files pdf accepts pdf files audio accepts audio files any accepts any file each type has a specific format using html accept attribute picture image/

input location input fields allow users to select a location from the list of locations in the organization configuration options submitter must be at location if enabled, the user will be required to verify their presence at the selected location when submitting the form confirm input confirm input fields allow users to confirm using a button instruction instruction fields are used to provide additional information to the user filling out the form they are not used to collect information, so they do not have a response formula formula fields are used to calculate a value based on other inputs in the form and hard values formulas can reference number type inputs formula type inputs multiple choice inputs formulas can use the following operators \+ addition subtraction multiplication / division ( ) parentheses note multiple choice inputs must have a score associated with each option the score is used in the formula to calculate the value if multiple options are selected, the score of each option is added together note an input will be greyed out if it is already used in the formula, but can be used multiple times section section fields are not used to collect information, so they do not have a response sections can be used to organize inputs into logical groups, can be expanded or collapsed, and stick to the top of the screen while scrolling to use a section add a section input anywhere in the form add inputs after the section any inputs after a section will be considered part of the section until another section is added stopwatch stopwatch fields are used to track the time spent on an activity table of contents when adding sections to the form, a table of contents button appears in each section header during form submission to open the table of contents tap the icon on the right side of the section header the table of contents will appear showing all the sections in the form each section has how many optional and required questions it contains tap on a section to scroll to it visibility when a section is hidden based on its visibility settings, all inputs within the section are also hidden branches branches are utilized to reveal additional inputs based on the user's selections in the form each option in a checkbox input can be linked to a branch if a user selects an option with an associated branch, the corresponding inputs will be displayed here's how branches work when a user is filling out a form upon selecting a checkbox option if the option is linked to a branch, the branch will be revealed if there's no associated branch, nothing happens upon deselecting a checkbox option if the option is linked to a branch, the branch will be concealed if there's no associated branch, nothing happens viewing forms depending on the role of the
