Create and manage every form yourself using your computer. You can drag & drop a wide variety of our fields to build the most efficient form for your business. Our comprehensive online Form Builder is so simple to use that everyone can create professional digital business forms in no time. 

Having developed a wide variety of fields, we are happy to explain them to you! What is the difference between the Image and Photo field? When to use a Radio field? We answer these questions and many more.

Below, you will find examples of field use cases next to their editable properties that can be defined in the Form Builder. Open the Form Builder, drag & drop a field into the form, click on it to open the property screen of the field, and go ahead with editing the field to your own preference. 

Now, let's take a detailed look at all the fields that you can use to build the forms that you need. 

Barcode

The Barcode field is quite self-explanatory. It allows users who are filling in a form, to scan a barcode using the device's camera. Use it to scan a QR, UPC, EAN, CODE_39, or any other barcode and capture it in your form. Scanning a barcode even gives you that all too familiar cashier sound, which is a lot of fun in itself. BEEP.

Checkbox

Use the Checkbox field to let users check or uncheck a question or statement. For example, if you want to ask whether the user wants to sign up for the monthly newsletter. Just one click and the Checkbox is selected. 

Date

This field is really easy to use. Especially when you check the now as default option. This way, the current date is automatically filled in when opening the form with MoreApp or via the direct URL. 

Date Time

Only adding the date is not enough? With the Date Time field you can let your users select both the date and time at once!

Time

This field is only for adding the time to your form.

Email

The Email field is used to collect valid email addresses which can be used to send the report to. To do this: add the email fields as dynamic recipients in the Email settings. This way your office or customer directly receives the report in their email inbox. Our tip: Check the remember input option if you often send the report to the same email address. 

Header

When scrolling through a long inspection form, a header helps to recognise different sections in the form. The header also appears in the reports. In the property screen of the field, you can choose the size of the header text. 

HTML

Are you familiar with HTML? If so, use the HTML field to add some custom markup to your form. Anything is possible! 

Image

Use the Image field to show an image on your form. This is mostly used by our users to add their logo on top of the form or to add a descriptive picture needed during form filling. Click Select image to upload your logo or any another image. 

Label

The Label field is used to simply add text as a divider in your form. 

Radio

The Radio field is the most used field of our MoreApp users. Use the Radio field to let users choose one of your predefined values. You can only choose one answer and not multiple ones. Next, to adding text, you can also use images as selections in the Radio field. You can choose a default value, style the field with a vertical or horizontal alignment, and choose if you want to remember the input from the last filled in form.

Fun Fact: The radio button got its name from the physical buttons used on older radios to select preset stations. When one of the buttons was pressed, other buttons would pop out, leaving only the pressed button in the "pushed in" position. 

Lookup

Use the Lookup field to let users choose one (or more) of your predefined values. This differs from the Radio field visually, because with the Lookup field the selections are not directly visible. The other difference to the Radio field is that (optionally) the Lookup field allows you to choose multiple selections. You can add your selection possibilities and let MoreApp sort them alphabetically. 

Number

When filling in a form, and clicking on a Number field, the standard numeric keypad automatically pops up on your device. The field uses digit grouping. This means that dots or commas will be automatically added to separate the thousands. This is based on your device’s language settings. However, in the PDF output, the dots and commas are not visible.

Additionally, you can use inputs from Number fields to make calculations in your form. For example, summing up hours worked on multiple days. This can be done with the Calculation field.

Note:

• When using iOS or Safari, be aware when adding letters to the Number field. The input will disappear.

• The comma or dot is based on your device's language settings. If the device language is English, you can only enter dots. Values with commas will disappear.

Phone

This field makes it possible to easily add a phone number to a form. As simple as that.

Photo

Use the Photo field to take a photo with the device's camera or add one from your photo library. The photos will appear as a thumbnail in the PDF reports and can be attached to the email.

Furthermore, we've added the possibility to choose the photo quality. Because most mail servers won’t allow you to send a mail that’s bigger than 19mb in total size, which for most emails, is more than enough. But if your form includes a lot of photos and you’ve chosen to attach them all to the email, you can quickly reach this limit. So play around with the photo quality and see what's best for you!

You can also define the filenames of photos, making it easier to identify them in Excel exports later on. If you want, you can use placeholders of other fields as filenames.

Pin

With the Pin field, you can specify positions on a map, floor plan, technical drawing, or photo! You can add the five available icon variations to the image as often as needed. You can add the image beforehand, add, or update it while filling in a form. 

License Plate (NL)

Use the License Plate (NL) field to enter a Dutch license plate number. The App will always verify the license plate. You can not add invalid license plates or license plates from other countries.

The field will then show additional information about the vehicle. For this field, an internet connection is required for access to the additional information. The field works offline. However, the validation will not be executed.

Signature

Draw a signature on the touchscreen of the device using your finger or a stylus pen.

Slider

Use the Slider field to select a value from your predefined value range.

Subform

With a Subform field, it is possible to add as many Subforms as you like. The number of Subforms does not need to be defined. Use the Subform for example for adding photos or working days. If you want to build advanced inspection forms, you can also use subforms in subforms in subforms in sub...  

Text

This field is used to add a few words to a form. For example a name.  

Text-Area

Calculation
