Overview

This article covers how to add a form field to a form in a program cycle in Next. 

In the example below, an Intake Form is shown, but the process of adding a form field to a form in other areas of the workflow is the same.

Add a Form Field

• Form fields are the elements that make up a form.  Form fields can be user input fields such as a Name field or a Short Answer field, or they can be display fields like Presentational Text fields or Calculated Fields.  
• Adding a Form Field is the same process for forms with and without sections.

To add a form field to a form:

1. If the form is newly created and no form fields currently exist, select either of the +Add Fields links:

a. In the form or section

b. At the top of the screen

If the form has form fields in it already, only the +Add Fields link at the top of the page is available.

2. After selecting the +Add Fields link, the Add Fields tray will slide open from the right side of the screen.

3. From the available fields, choose the one(s) to add to the form by selecting the + symbol next to the field name.  In the example below, Address and Multi-Select were added.

4. Once all form fields are added, select the Close button to close the Add Fields tray.

5. See the Configure Form Fields article for more information about each form field.
