2. To configure the fields (properties), scroll to “Form fields”. Here you can edit, rearrange, delete or add new fields.

Configuration of the Form Fields (properties)
1. Click on “+Add Property” to create a field, a new pop-up window will open with two options:

Option A: Add predefined properties.
Option B: Create new property. When creating the property, you must choose the type:

- Long description:it is a field where the attendee will have the opportunity to write a long text. For example: Answer to a question.
- Single selection: the attendee will get a drop-down menu with a series of options from which he can only choose one. For example: Are you going to dinner? Options: YES / NO.
- Multiple selection: you offer different options and the attendee can choose more than one. For example: Select availability hours.
- Checkbox: If you are interested in setting up a field with a checkbox. For example: I am interested in receiving…
- Date: Whether attendees have to enter a date. For example: Date of birth.
- File: The attendee will need to upload a file. Acceptable formats are pdf, jpg and png. For example: Summary, Document or CV.
👉 You can decide if you want the fields to be required or optional.
2. Once you've created this property, it will appear along with the rest in the "Form Fields" section.
- Field Order: From the "Form Fields" section, click on the small squares on the left and arrange them as you see fit.
- Editing the fields:If you click on the edit option, you will be able to modify the properties of the field that has already been created as you deem appropriate, as well as make it mandatory or not.
