Configure pages
You can create forms with one page or multiple pages. Forms with multiple pages make it easier to navigate through a large form. Large forms can be created with multiple pages and form users can navigate between pages by using the Next and Previous buttons or by clicking the Page numbers or titles. The Submit button is placed on the last page.
You can configure the form to display pages vertically or horizontally, control whether users must step through multiple pages in sequence, and configure conditional page navigation so that users can navigate between pages and sections in pages based on rules and user input.
To add pages to your form:
- Open the forms designer.
- Click Configure pages.
The Pages configuration panel is displayed.
-
Click Add new page to add a new page to the form.
-
Add a title to the new page and configure it as required. For configuration field descriptions, see Pages configuration fields and buttons.
