What Text Fields Are Available?

After Creating a Form, you can choose from various Form Gadgets to add gadgets to your form. Three of these gadgets create fields that allow the end user to input text: Short Text, Long Text, and Rich Text.

When making your form choices, consider the differences between the text input fields:

• Length of desired end user input
• Text formatting abilities

Short Text

Best for short, 2-3 word inputs (name, etc.). You can configure a minimum and maximum character limit to this field by going to Advanced Settings.

Long Text

Best for longer text (think multiple sentences or paragraphs). This input field can NOT be formatted by the user. You can configure a minimum and maximum character limit to this field by going to Advanced Settings.

Rich Text

Used for longer text that requires formatting. 

Note: All Text fields (Short Text, Long Text, and Rich Text) have a maximum character limit of 10,000 characters (with spaces) and line breaks/carriage returns will count as a character.
