Toolbox Options
The form builder’s toolbox contains all the various data field types a Array form can hold. In this article, we provide a brief explanation of the various options and how they function.
The Toolbox appears down the right hand side in the form builder.
Text Elements
The Text Elements options are very straightforward. If you’d like to capture a responder’s name, email, company, or phone number, simply drag and drop the corresponding field onto your form. Additionally, you can use the signature option to allow a responder to add a handwritten signature to the form.
At the bottom of the Text Element menu, you’ll see a “Data Search” field. This field allows you to populate a form with information found in the Array database, in an external CSV, or in a third-party application. For more information on data search here.
Media & More
Use options from the Media & More menu to allow responders to attach photos, videos, audio files, or documents to your Array form. You can also generate barcodes and QR codes from this menu.
Lists / Sliders
The Lists / Sliders options are great for letting form responders compare multiple pieces of data.
Radio List: Choose only one answer from several possibilities. See our article for the different option on the Radio List.
Check Box List: Choose as many answers as apply from a list
Drop Down: Choose one answer from a drop-down list
Star Rating: Apply a score to an attribute on a scale of 1-5
Numbered Slider: Apply a score to an attribute on a scale of 1-10
Numbered List: Rank a list of options in order from best to worst
Countries, States, & Options: Select a country, state, or country from a drop-down list.
Date / Time
The Date / Time menu contains four simple options: Add a date to your form, add a time, add both and add a Booking.
Integrations
The integrations section is where you can add fields that will share data with an external application, such as MailChimp or Base CRM. To add an integration, visit the Array Market.
