Fields

Introduction

Feature(s)

Fields are essential for creating forms and are the core tools for collecting data. Using different types of fields in a form can make the data collection effective.

Field Type(s)

There are currently 21 types of fields in Jodoo, divided into Basic Fields and Advanced Fields. It is important to choose proper fields because, if not, you may not realize features like functions, linkage, and association. Field choosing also plays a pivotal role in form design, data collection, and data analysis.

Plan Description

There is a limit to the number of fields in a form. The maximum number of fields that can be added in different plans is listed below.

For details, contact our Sales Team.

Note:

If a form created has exceeded the maximum number of fields, it can still be used normally in the future.

The following two types of fields do not count toward the total number of fields in the form.
