Grid Field
Two or multiple birds with one stone! That is what the Grid feature really gets you on forms.app. If your question requires more than one type of data, you can simply use the grid to collect them separately. It is also perfect for stock inspections, checklists, and reports 📋
A grid is a form field type where you can create two or more columns for your questions. With this setup, the visitors can enter the data separately. That is not all, however. You can even choose different data types, such as text, number, date, dropdown selection, and masked text for these columns.
What does a grid have to offer?
The grid field allows asking multiple questions in a row and adding more rows to enter more data. Once you use a grid field in your form, you will have several options. You can, for instance:
- Increase or decrease the number of columns in your question
- Choose a name and a data type for them
- Make a column required for submission
- Insert an image or video
- If you have a column for collecting numbers, show the column total
- Arrange them by clicking on the up or down arrow on the side panel
- Limit the number of rows respondents can add to their answers
Please note that the Date input type in the Grid field only accepts dates in the DD/MM/YYYY format.
