Category: Field Types
There are 17 different Field Types available for you to equip your forms with, all for specific purposes and applications. Below you can read more about these Field Types and how to use them correctly.
Categories
Hidden field
A hidden field is a field that will not be visible to the user, but which will be sent when the form is submitted. For example you could use this field type to store IDs that can come from a search field or predefined values.
Categories
Image field
The field type Image creates a field to add an image to the form.
Tip! If you want to make sure the images in the form is scaled to the screens size, you could add CSS classes for this. Read more about images and CSS classes in the Bootstrap documentation.
Add two Bootstrap CSS classes; img-responsive and col-md-6 in Advanced settings for the Image field. The result is an image that will stay at 6/12 columns in width and at the same time keep proportions and scale accordingly to the screens size.
Example above showing an Image field with two Bootstrap CSS classes, img-responsive and col-md-6.
