# Form Builder Basics

The Form Builder is a drag-and-drop interface for designing registration forms for community events. It appears after configuring a registration type (attendee, sponsor/vendor, volunteer, or other).

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** The form builder auto-saves as you work. You can exit using the **Go back** button at the top left of the screen and all progress will be saved under the respective registration type.
{% endhint %}

## Building a Form

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Add fields

Drag field elements from the right-side panel onto the form canvas to add them. Available field types include text inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, date pickers, and file uploads.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Rename fields

Click on a field to open its properties. Rename each field in the properties section — these names appear in data exports and help identify specific questions.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set fields as required

Expand the **Validation** section in the field properties and toggle the **Required** setting. A red asterisk appears next to the field label as a visual indicator.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add conditional logic

Use the **Conditions** section to configure fields that show or hide based on responses to other fields. For example, display a text field only when a "Yes" response is selected.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Reorder fields

Drag fields up or down on the canvas to change their order on the form.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Remove fields

Click the delete icon on any field to remove it from the form.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
