8 form fields you might not know about

Tilda allows you to easily add fields to forms you can use to collect information from your website visitors. Just mix and match them, with great results every time. Here are the eight fields that you might have missed.
◾ Date. Using the Date field, your website visitors can pick a date in a dropdown calendar without leaving your website. Use it if you are selling tickets to an event or to suggest choosing a delivery date.
◾ Phone mask. Help users avoid mistakes in adding their telephone number with the Phone mask field. The field will display a country code and the correct number of digits. This is very convenient because you will receive all data in the same format.
◾ File. Users can attach files to their submissions (such as a resume or design brief) which will land in your Google Drive or Dropbox. Remember to enable your file receiver in website settings.
◾ Question with image answers. Using this field will allow you to show images as multiple-choice options. We recommend using it with the Step-by-step form in blocks BF919 and BF920 when you want to your client to select one type of gift wrap out of four, for example.
◾ White space. The White space field can be useful for adding a visual break to longer forms with more than 5-7 fields.
◾ Break in steps. Useful for visually reducing the number of questions, the Break in steps field divides them into cards. Use it for quizzes, alongside block BF919.
◾ Text comment. For comments and replies, add the Text comment field. Use with the White Space field to annotate groups of fields.
◾ Hidden. Make sure to use the same title if you are using several forms in your website. This field will be invisible to users while helping you track referral sources.

🙌 Create beautiful, functional forms the users will want to fill in.
