Mimo Forms Field Types

Welcome to the Mimo Forms field types reference guide! By following this guide, you will gain a clear understanding of all the available form fields, empowering you to choose the exact components needed to build powerful, customized forms that perfectly capture information from your respondents.

Step 1: Utilize Standard Collection Fields

1. Text: Collect short, single-line text responses such as names, short answers, or custom identifiers.
2. Email: Automatically validate that the respondent enters a properly formatted email address.
3. Dropdowns: Provide a compact menu of options where users can select a single choice without cluttering the page.
4. Country: Quickly insert a pre-populated dropdown list of all countries for international users.

[!NOTE] Standard fields form the backbone of your data collection. Start with these to cover your basic information needs before adding advanced logic.

Step 2: Implement Advanced Logic and Structure Fields

1. Page Break: Split long, intimidating forms into multiple digestible pages to improve your completion rates.
2. Repeatable Groups: Allow respondents to add multiple instances of a field group on the fly (e.g., listing previous employers).
3. Calculation: Automatically compute and display numerical values based on user inputs from other fields using mathematical formulas.
4. Scale: Let users provide a rating on a customizable numerical scale (e.g., from 1 to 10).
5. Likert Scale: Measure attitudes, opinions, or satisfaction levels across a matrix of options.
6. Signature: Collect digital signatures directly within your form to finalize agreements or waivers.

[!TIP] Using advanced structure fields like Page Breaks and Repeatable Groups can drastically improve the user experience for complex forms.

Step 3: Configure Scheduling and Payment Fields

1. Time Slot: Offer specific, predefined time slots for users to pick from for scheduled events.
2. Appointment: Let respondents book appointments interactively on a calendar that syncs with your availability.
3. Pricing Plan: Display different subscription tiers or products for customers to purchase directly within the form.
4. Donation: Securely accept variable charitable contributions or open-ended payments from your supporters.

[!IMPORTANT] When using Appointment, Pricing Plan, or Donation fields, ensure that your calendar integrations and payment gateways are properly linked in your Mimo Forms settings.
