Form Structure

A public form is made from a sequence of form elements.

Those elements can include headings, paragraphs, fields, choice lists, date inputs, time inputs, and other controls that guide the user through a submission.

Forms

Each form has a public identity and a stable URL.

Project managers should think about the form's purpose, audience, active period, languages, and what should happen after submission.

Elements

Elements are the individual pieces inside the form.

Some elements collect answers, such as text fields or dropdowns. Other elements provide structure or guidance, such as titles and paragraphs.

Submitted Data

When a user submits the form, the answers are saved as structured data.

The application can keep the submission as a form record or process it into domain records such as applications, registrations, contacts, orders, bookings, or requests.
