Form Sections and Steps

Use sections and steps to organize elements you add to the Form Designer. When you create a new form, it automatically includes one step, and the step contains one section. Each form requires at least one step, and each step requires at least one section. By default, the new form name is the step name, and the section has no title. In the Form Designer, steps appear as tabs and sections appear within tabs. Each section has a title area. You drop elements below this area. When you drag an element from Add fields to the design area, a horizontal line displays to indicate the placement for the element. You can place elements anywhere on a section.

When you add a step to a form, the default step name is Step 1. The step number increases as you add more steps. You can change a step name when you add the step or by updating the properties after you add the step. When you add a section to a step, you can enter a section name. You can change the name by updating the properties after you add the section. Sections allow you to group elements you add to a form. This is useful if the form contains many elements. For information about properties, see Properties.

You can organize steps and sections in the order you want website users to complete the form. When you have two or more steps on a form, click a step to see if you can move it to the left or right. You can move a section anywhere on a step with drag and drop. You can also click Reorder sections to change the order.
