Learn how to organize your form using sections to improve structure, readability, and user experience.
Sections help you divide your form into clear and logical parts. By grouping related questions together, sections make forms easier to understand, navigate, and complete.
What are Sections?
Sections are used to organize your form into structured blocks. Each section can contain multiple questions related to a specific topic or step in the workflow. Think of sections as chapters in a form, helping users move through it step by step.
When can you create Sections?
Sections are created during the Build App phase of template creation. After completing the General Information step, you can start building your form using sections and fields.

Step 2: Add a Section

Configuring a Section
After adding a section, you can customize it based on your requirements:

This allows you to structure your form in a meaningful way.
