Form fields overview

Forms RB provides a simple and flexible way to manage form fields. Each form includes a predefined set of commonly used fields that can be enabled or disabled depending on your needs.

This article gives an overview of available fields and explains how field availability works inside a form.


Fields management basics

All form fields are managed from the Fields tab inside the form editor.

Key principles:

  • Fields are enabled or disabled using simple toggle switches
  • At least one field must be enabled for a form to be published
  • Disabled fields are not shown to visitors and are not included in submissions
  • Enabled fields appear immediately in the form dialog

This approach keeps form configuration clean and predictable.


Available form fields

Forms RB includes the following predefined fields:

Name

A basic text field used to collect the visitor’s name.
Commonly enabled for contact and inquiry forms.


Email

An email input field designed for collecting email addresses.
Can be enabled or disabled depending on whether email contact is required.


Message

A multiline text area used for longer user input.
Typically used for messages, questions, or descriptions.


Agreement

A checkbox field used for confirmations such as accepting terms, privacy policy, or consent notices.
Useful for compliance and legal confirmations.


Phone

An optional field for collecting phone numbers.
Can be enabled when additional contact information is needed.


Subject

A short text field allowing users to specify the subject of their message.
Helps organize and categorize submissions.


Priority

An optional field that can be used to indicate urgency or importance.
Useful for support or request-based forms.


Reset button

An optional button that allows users to clear all form fields and start over before submitting the form.


Enabling and disabling fields

Each field includes a toggle switch:

  • Enabled fields are visible in the form dialog and included in submissions
  • Disabled fields are completely hidden and ignored

Changes take effect immediately after saving the form.


How fields affect submissions

Only enabled fields:

  • Appear in the form dialog
  • Are stored in form records
  • Are visible when viewing individual submissions in the admin panel

This ensures that submissions always match the current form configuration.
