Field Types
Fields are the building blocks of forms—they let you collect data from the people who fill out your form. There are lots of field types you can add to your form so you collect the right kind of data, in the right format.
You can add fields from the Form Builder.
Standard Fields
Standard Fields usually don't have any built-in validation—they're simple, flexible fields that accept a wide range of inputs from people filling out your form.

Section Break | This field doesn't collect data—it adds a section header and paragraph text to your form. |
Page Break | This field doesn't collect data—it adds a new page so you can split your form into multiple pages. |
Fancy Pants Fields
Fancy Pants Fields are already set up to accept specific types of data from people filling out your form. These fields are either formatted or validated to collect certain types of data, in a consistent format. In some cases, using the right Fancy Pants field also ensures that your data is presented in the most useful way in the Entry Manager.
