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:

  1. Open the forms designer.
  2. Click Configure pages.
  3. The Pages configuration panel is displayed.

  1. Click Add new page to add a new page to the form.

  2. Add a title to the new page and configure it as required. For configuration field descriptions, see Pages configuration fields and buttons.

  • Sequential: Users progress through the form in the order the pages are listed. Validation occurs on every page.
  • Sequential (Rule-triggered): Users can progress through form pages based on the rules set up. Configure Page rules in the Rules tab. Validation occurs on every page.
  • Non Sequential: Users can navigate between form pages in any order. Validation occurs when the form is submitted.

Important: If page rules are defined for a Sequential (Rule-triggered) navigation flow and you switch to another navigation flow, the page rules will display errors. You cannot publish the form until you manually delete or disable the rules.
