Form Template Builder

The Form Template Builder is where you design the form itself. You choose the fields people will see, decide which questions are required, and set the behavior for how the form should work when it is submitted.

How to Access the Builder

Open Forms > Templates, then create a new template or edit an existing one. The builder opens with the form canvas on one side and settings for the selected field on the other.

What the Builder Does

AreaWhat it does
Form detailsSets the form name, description, and whether the form can be shared publicly or assigned.
Field canvasLets you add and arrange the questions shown on the form.
Field settingsLets you edit the selected field's label, help text, default value, required state, and other options.
Ticket defaultsSets the ticket title, description, category, status, priority, assignees, and ticket channel used when a form creates a ticket.
Submission rulesControls who can submit the form and whether contact sign-in is required.
Success messageShows the message people see after they submit the form.

Field Types

The current builder supports a small set of field types so you can keep forms simple and easy to complete.

Field typeBest for
TextShort answers such as names, account numbers, or brief notes.
MessageLonger explanations or details.
ChoiceSingle-choice or multi-choice answers.
FileAttaching a document, screenshot, or other file.

Common Builder Settings

You can mark fields as required, add help text, set default values, and use a validation pattern when a field needs to match a specific format. Choice fields can also be configured with a list of options, and file fields can be used when a responder needs to upload something.

Submission Options

A form can be public, assigned through a ticket, or limited to signed-in contacts. You can also decide whether new contacts may be created during submission or whether only existing contacts can use the form.

If your team allows it, a form can also be used to create a ticket automatically. In that case, the ticket defaults you set in the builder will be applied when the form is submitted.

Why the Builder Matters

The builder is where you control the quality of the form experience. Clear field names, simple layouts, and sensible ticket defaults make the form easier to complete and easier for your team to process afterward.
