Interacting with Form Builder Elements

Adding New Elements

Note: The horizontal bars above and between existing pages add additional pages. The horizontal bars within pages add elements.

Selecting Elements

Hovering over the icon for an element changes the icon to a checkbox, which you can use to select one or more elements. The number of elements selected is displayed at the top of the left pane of the page. Options to move, clone, and delete the selected elements are also displayed in this pane.
