### Overview of form field types

**Text-based fields**

1.  Title
    
    -   To organize your form into sections, use the _'Title'_ element to create clear headings.
        
2.  Short answer
    
    -   This field can be used for shorter answers; the maximum length is 1,024 characters.
        
3.  Paragraph
    
    -   This field can be used for longer answers; the maximum length is 32,768 characters.
        
4.  Profile information
    
    -   Once the form is submitted, this information will automatically be added to the attendee's profile.
        
    -   You can add to your form the following attendee profile information:
        
        -   Phone
            
        -   Bio
            
        -   Web
            
        -   Position
            
        -   Profile picture
            

**Selection field types**

1.  Multiple choice
    
    -   The _‘Multiple Choice’_ element presents a list of options. If the attendee selects one, the previous selection will automatically be deselected. It is best used for mutually exclusive answers.
        
    -   Ideal for short lists (2-6 options), all options are visible at once, often used for yes/no questions
        
2.  Checkbox
    
    -   Checkboxes are best used when you want an attendee to select one or more options from a list.
        
3.  Drop-down
    
    -   The Dropdown is the standard choice for _‘select one’_ scenarios with a long list of options.
        
    -   Perfect for long lists (countries, companies, etc.), useful on mobile when too many options would clutter the screen.
        

**File upload fields**

1.  File upload
    
    -   Attendees can upload all kinds of files. The limit is 25MB per file.
        
2.  Profile picture
    
    -   Once the form is submitted, this information will automatically be added to the attendee's profile.
        

### Step 6:

You can now edit your added fields using the form editor in the right sidebar.

The new field can be added in the editor as well, using the plus icon.
