Field types

When you add an item to a questionnaire, you pick what kind of answer it collects. Here's every type, and what each one's for.

Question types

TypeWhat the client does
Short TextTypes a single line, like a name or venue.
Long TextTypes a longer answer over multiple lines.
Single ChoicePicks one option from a list.
Multiple ChoicePicks any number of options from a list.
DateChooses a date.
EmailEnters an email address.
PhoneEnters a phone number.
NumberEnters a number.
URLEnters a web address.
Yes / NoPicks yes or no.
File UploadUploads one or more files.

Choice questions (Single Choice and Multiple Choice) need at least two options. You can change a question's type at any time while you're building the form.

Layout blocks

Two item types don't collect an answer at all. They're there to make a long form easier to read:

BlockWhat it does
Section HeaderA heading that breaks the form into sections.
Instruction TextA static note or set of instructions for the client.

File Upload settings

When you add a File Upload question, you get two extra settings:

  • Accepted files: choose All supported, Images only, or Documents only.
  • Max files: how many a client can attach: 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10.

Each file can be up to 10 MB.

Here's what counts as an image and what counts as a document:

  • Images: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and GIF.
  • Documents: PDF, XLSX, and CSV.
tip

Use Documents only when you need a signed form or a spreadsheet, and Images only when you're asking for inspiration shots or reference photos.
