Add and Arrange Questions

Add questions to a form, choose how people answer each one, and put them in order.

To build or manage forms, you need the Manage Forms permission set to Allow in your responsibilities. Administrators have this permission by default.

Each question has a type that controls how people answer it, such as a text box, a list of choices, or a date picker. For the full list, see Form Question Types. To break a long form into parts, add a Section Header between groups of questions.
  1. In the top-left corner, click your site name then Realm. Then click Events & Forms > Forms.
  2. Click the name of the form.
  3. Under Questions, click Add Question.
  4. Select a question type.

    The question type list in Forms
    Note: After people have answered a question, you can't change its type.
  5. Enter the Question. If you chose Section Header, enter a Heading instead. People see the heading on the form but don't answer it.
  6. Finish setting up the question:
    • For Short Text or Long Text / Paragraph, you can enter Placeholder Text that shows in the answer box until someone starts typing.
    • For Multiple Choice or Multi-Select List, enter each answer under Options. Click Add option for more answers, and drag an answer by the drag handle to change its place in the list.
    • For Yes/No, the answers are already set to Yes and No.
  7. If people must answer the question before they can submit the form, select Required.
  8. To ask a follow-up question based on someone's answer, click Add conditional question under that answer, then set up the follow-up question the same way. You can add follow-up questions to Yes/No, Multiple Choice, and Multi-Select List questions, but not to another follow-up question.
    People see the follow-up question only when they pick that answer.
  9. Repeat these steps for each question.
  10. To change the order, drag a question by the drag handle. To change a question, click it to expand it. To remove a question, click the trash can icon next to it.
  11. Click Save.
