Once you’ve added a field to your form using the Formora Form Builder, the next step is to configure its properties. Field properties allow you to customize the appearance, behavior, validation rules, and data handling for each individual field, ensuring your form is both user-friendly and collects the exact information you need.

When you select any field on your form canvas, the Properties Panel (usually on the right side of the builder) will display the available settings for that specific field type.

The Field Properties Panel - Your Control Center for Field Customization

While some properties are unique to certain field types (as detailed in their respective documentation pages), many are common across most, if not all, input fields. This page provides a comprehensive overview of these frequently encountered properties.

​
Commonly Available Field Properties

​
Validation Properties (Overview)

Most input fields offer validation options to ensure the data submitted is in the correct format and meets your criteria.

  • Basic Validation: This includes the “Required” toggle mentioned above.
  • Format-Specific Validation: Fields like Email, URL, and Number often have built-in format checking.
  • Custom Validation Rules: Text fields might support min/max length or regex patterns. Number fields might support min/max values. File uploads support file type and size restrictions.

Detailed validation properties for each field type are covered on their respective pages within the Field Types section.

​
Conditional Logic Access

The power to show or hide fields based on user input in other fields is a cornerstone of dynamic forms. The Properties Panel for most fields will include a tab or section for configuring Conditional Logic.

  • Access Point: Look for a “Conditional Logic”, “Display Logic”, or “Rules” tab.
  • Functionality: This is where you define the rules (e.g., “Show this field IF ‘Country’ field EQUALS ‘United States’”).

For a comprehensive guide on setting up these rules, please refer to the dedicated Conditional Logic page.

By mastering these common field properties, you gain fine-grained control over every aspect of your Formora forms, leading to better data collection and an improved user experience. Next, let’s explore how to configure overall Form Settings.
