The form editor of 123 Form Builder, your trusted online form maker, allows you to create and customize the structure of your web form in any way you want. You can add and edit basic and advanced fields, drag and drop sections, adjust the form layout and preview the result in real-time. The fields panel is placed on the left side of the Form Editor, split into Basic, Specific, and Other fields.

Basic fields

Each element comes with an Edit option that lets you control its appearance and behavior.

As basic fields, you may use:

• Short text fields to request a simple text input from your visitor.
• Long text fields are similar to short text fields, but they allow for more text input. For example, you may use text areas for comments or suggestions.
• Dropdown fields provide several options from which your visitor will have to select one.
• Single choice fields allow users to choose only one item from a list of options.
• Multiple choice fields display as checkboxes. Visitors may tick as many options as they wish.
• File upload fields allow visitors to upload different types of files.
• Heading fields. If you want to mark a new section or subsection in your form, you can do this by using headings.
• HTML block fields allow you to insert customized text sections, links, images, and tables.

Specific fields

Specific fields provide a wide range of options for requesting contact data from your submitters (name, email, address, phone, website), as well as other information, such as date, time, or price.

The majority are self-explanatory, however, others may require further explanation.
