Editing Fields

With more than 25 field types, Tap Forms can be extraordinarily flexible for your data. However, when there are still field configurations that you’d like to make to better serve your inputs, you can do so by editing field behavior.

First, you’ll need to add fields to your form. To do this:

1. Open the Form panel and click the “Fields” tab
2. Click the + button beneath the field list
3. Choose the field type
4. Provide the field title

For fields that have already been created, select one to edit its name, description, and label color. Additionally, there are options to require the field during record creation and show the title on the list view, both activated by a check box.

You can also move fields up and down to change how they appear on the Default Layout. To do that, just click and drag the fields up and down and position them where you want them to be. The order they’re listed in the Fields tab is the same order they’ll appear on the Default Layout.

To move fields on the multi-column list view so their column position changes, see the Multi-Column List View topic.

While the above attributes will remain the same as you switch between field types, each field also features its own unique set of settings that allow you to further customize its functionality. For example, the Number field contains options for incrementation, number format, currency, and more. Through reviewing and updating each field’s individual choices, you can better understand how the fields can work for you.
