Once the form data has been configured, the next step will be to open the “Form fields to customize” drop-down:

In this section a list will appear with the default fields for the type of form that we will be “creating”. What will we need to do?
- Open the drop-down menu "Form fields to customize".
- Add new fields to the form by clicking "Add field".
- For each field, enter a title and choose the field type.
Just by entering this section, we will find the initial model that is based on the “generic instance”, so the “I expose and request” fields will already appear. We can “hide” them and build fields with our own sections (add field) .
In this section we will also find a button to preview the form we are building, which as we progress will show us how it looks.

We can add custom fields. Specifically, the solution allows the following types of fields:
• Checkbox : allows you to select multiple options. You can configure the options, hide the title, and set the requirement.
• Description : adds an information field.
• File : Allows you to attach a file. You can hide the title and set it as mandatory.
• Radio : Allows you to select one option from several. You can configure the options, hide the title, and set the mandatory status.
• Select : similar to radio, but displayed as a drop-down.
• Text : Allows you to enter a line of text. You can hide the title and set it to mandatory.
• Textarea: Allows you to enter multiple lines of text. You can hide the title and set it to mandatory.
• Title : Similar to the description, but with a different font format.
List of fields:
• You can change the order of the fields, hide them or delete them.
• You can edit existing fields.
Form preview:
• Use the "Preview" button to check the final appearance of the form.
In the next FAQs, we will go into specific detail about how each type of field works.
