The questions you can ask

The questions you can ask

Fifteen types, including the ones that do more than collect text.

01The everyday ones

These cover most of what a form asks. Each one can be required and each can carry a line of help text under it.

Text and Paragraph
One line, or a longer answer.
Number
A number, with an optional least and most.
Email and Phone
Checked for shape as they are typed.
Date
A calendar pick.
Dropdown and Choice
One pick from options you list. Choice can allow more than one.
Rating
Exactly five stars. There is no bound to set.

02The ones that draw on your organisation

Three questions offer real things from your organisation rather than text.

Schedule
Offers the real sessions of the offering being bought, and the answer is a booked session.
Member select
Offers exactly the members you picked when building the form, drawn from the people marked Bookable by customers, never the whole roster.
Venue
Offers places you listed, and the respondent can still name somewhere else.

03Upload

An Upload question takes ONE file from a signed-in respondent. You pick the kind (pictures, or documents and PDFs) and the largest size (2, 5 or 10 MB); the platform gates the formats. The file lands in Storage under Customer uploads, counts against your storage, and travels with the response onto the item’s documents.

A respondent who is not signed in is asked to sign in before they can attach.

04The ones that are not questions

A Content block collects nothing: it is a heading, some copy and optionally an image, for explaining a section before you ask about it. An Outline lays out branches and their leaves for structured picking.

Checklists live on a flow’s stages rather than in a question list.
