The fundamentals of our form builder: Optimize Your Forms with Custom Form Fields

Our intuitive form builder is the foundation of this dynamic front-end data collection system and offers 30+ field types that help you create forms for every occasion. For a better understanding of the form fields and their uses, we can group them into function-based categories or classifications.

Present your options with clarity

The choice fields allow your respondents to pick from a multitude of options provided by you. These fields help you structure various complex combinations of questions in a visually simplified manner.

Present your options with clarity

Choice fields are not limited to only text—you can allow respondents to choose from images, providing them a visual presentation of the choices they can pick from.

Form field
form field types

Provide respondents with a combination of choices and choice types grouped under sections with the advanced Matrix choice field.

Enhance clarity by grouping choices in Dropdown fields. For example, on a Course registration form, organize options into categories like Marketing, Sales, etc. This enables respondents to easily select relevant courses within each category, streamlining the selection process.

Form field type
global choice list

Avoid manually adding long lists of repetitive choices by utilizing the Global Choice List feature. For instance, when distributing inter-departmental forms such as Employee leave applications or appointment bookings, integrate a global choice list with department names. This eliminates the need to manually input options for each form, ensuring consistency and saving time.

Collect data with ease. Collect sensitive information in a secure manner.

With purpose-specific fields, collect data from respondents either by text input or digital signatures. You can also allow them to attach files and images to your form. Fields containing personal and sensitive information from your respondents can be marked as personal and encrypted for additional security. Zoho Forms aims to always provide you and your customers with a secure form filling experience . Effortlessly collect signatures, capture images, and upload them instantly, even while you're on the go, with the Image upload and Signature fields available on the Zoho Forms mobile app.

data collection field

Calculate and gather payments online

Perform various calculations and undertake safe transactions using the form field types explicitly designed to complement each other and close contracts online in no time. You can set your preferred currencies and perform unique product-specific calculations that are automatically reflected in a secure payment portal at the end of your form.

Get rid of the clutter

Create visually appealing forms that are well-organized and easily readable for respondents. Reduce the clutter by breaking forms into sections and pages. Provide clear instructions for the respondents to follow by adding links, images, and text to guide them at each step.

date and time fields

Scheduling simplified

With advanced date and time fields, present a neat booking calendar for your respondents to reserve time slots and schedule appointments. Your customers can use your forms for service and meeting appointments, to book rooms and venues, and to schedule events with ease.

Interact through your forms

Make your forms interactive by using user input data from a respondent's answers to previous fields, in the questions that follow. Display contextual fields and pages based on an answer and make your forms more dynamic by configuring conditional logic or rules. Use points and rating scales to let your customers rate your service and share their opinions by allowing them to note down their thoughts in a text box.

Prefill lead information with integrated fields

Prefill your forms by fetching data from respondent information stored within a Zoho CRM module, with the help of the Zoho CRM field. This unique lookup field allows you to simplify the form filling process with prefilling data into your form, saving precious time, resulting in a smoother experience for your respondents. You can also push form entries to related lists or update existing records in Zoho CRM using this field.
