Field Types

WebWorkstationMobile

Public forms can include several field types. The exact fields depend on the form definition your organization uses.

Permission Required

No ZynoSuite account is required to complete a public form. ZynoForms access is required to review submissions.

Common Fields

Field TypeWhat The Person Does
TextEnters a short text response.
Long textEnters a longer response in a larger text area.
DisplayReads instructions, headings, agreements, or other non-answer content.
CheckboxConfirms one statement or option.
RadioChooses one option from a group.
SelectChooses one option from a drop-down list.
ContactEnters contact details such as name, phone, email, address, birthdate, or ZIP.

SignatureApplies a typed or drawn signature when required.
ReviewReviews values already entered earlier in the form.
Email copyChooses whether to receive an emailed copy when the form supports it.
Marketing opt-outRecords an opt-out preference when the form supports it.

Required Fields

Required fields must be completed before the person can continue or submit the form. If a required field is missing, ZynoSuite scrolls to and highlights the first invalid field.

Repeatable Sections

Some sections can be repeated. Use the form's add or remove controls, such as Add Another, to add another instance or remove an extra instance.

Signatures

Signature fields may require contact information before a signature can be applied. If the form asks for contact information first, complete those fields before signing.
