Field types & options
You’re here because…
you want the right input for each question — a dropdown for sizes, a checkbox for consent, a date for birthdays.
There are nine field types, so each question uses the most natural input instead of forcing everything into a text box.
The types
- Text — a single line (name, company).
- Textarea — a longer multi-line answer (notes, requirements).
- Number — numeric input.
- Email — validated email address.
- Phone — telephone number.
- Date — a date picker.
- Dropdown (select) — choose one from a list you define.
- Radio — pick one option, shown inline.
- Checkbox — a single tick (consent) or multiple choices.
Options for choice fields
For dropdown, radio and multi-checkbox fields you define the options the attendee picks from — for example T-shirt sizes XS–XXL, or meal choices. Clean options keep your exported data tidy and consistent.
Tip: use a dropdown rather than free text whenever answers fall into known categories — it stops typos and makes counting (how many vegetarians?) trivial.
