Provide respondents with a combination of choices and choice types grouped under sections with the advanced Matrix choice field.

Enhance clarity by grouping choices in Dropdown fields. For example, on a Course registration form, organize options into categories like Marketing, Sales, etc. This enables respondents to easily select relevant courses within each category, streamlining the selection process.

Form field type
global choice list

Avoid manually adding long lists of repetitive choices by utilizing the Global Choice List feature. For instance, when distributing inter-departmental forms such as Employee leave applications or appointment bookings, integrate a global choice list with department names. This eliminates the need to manually input options for each form, ensuring consistency and saving time.

With purpose-specific fields, collect data from respondents either by text input or digital signatures. You can also allow them to attach files and images to your form. Fields containing personal and sensitive information from your respondents can be marked as personal and encrypted for additional security.
