Inserting a Input Data Field into a Form (Types of Input Fields)

QuoteCloud gives the option to add a data field onto a form from a variety of data input options. This feature makes it easy to format a sales quote to allow the form to include any user information.

To begin, first start by building a form.

Click on the orange + Insert button located between every content block while working in the Sales Quote Editor and then select ‘Add Form’ at the very bottom.

A new form block will be added and a green content editor tool bar will appear at the top of the Sales Quote Editor.

To begin inserting a data field onto a form within a field set, click on the green + Insert button located between every content block while working in the Sales Quote Editor.

A selection box will now appear as shown below.

This selection box will display the available types of input data fields that can be inserted into a form, these are;

Field Set - used to group a set of input fields together to allow columns of input fields to be configured, and also allow multiple sets of data to be added by the sales quote recipient, e.g. enter the first name, last name, gender of students attending a course, the form would be required to allow multiple students attending.

Content Block - a text block added inside the form to provide instructions for the sales quote recipient when completing a form.
