Adding New Form Items

The first field is where you'll type out your question or item label. For example the first piece of information you may want to get from the submitter is his/her name. So in the first field of your first item type Name. Next select the Response Type. For this information we'll select Text Box so the user can type in their name. Finally click Publish and you'll see the first item in your form is Name with a text box underneath for the submitter to type in his/her name.

Response Types

Select Multiple - This response type is a check box. Use this response type to record multiple choices. For example, if you're asking your visitor to select a couple of areas in which they'd like to serve the church you'd use check boxes to list out different ministry areas so the submitter can select the ones they'd be interested in learning more about.
Select List - This response type is a drop-down list. Use this response type allow users to select one answer from many choices. For example, if you have a list of small groups for the submitter to choose the one they'd like to join you could use a select list.

Comment Box - This response type is a text area. Use this response type to record longer essay style answers. For example, if you wanted a Comments section on the form for users to submit their thoughts in sentence form you'd use a text area to allow them much more room to type their comments.
