Add a date field to a form
Use the date field to provide a calendar pop-up window for respondents to enter a date.
- Go to the form that you wish to edit.
- Go to Edit > Edit formsbuilder page.
- Under Add a text box, select Date field with calendar.
-
In the Field name box, enter the name you want to appear as the column heading for the date field in the form submissions table. For example:
Start date
-
In the Label box, type the question or instructions to show the respondent on the form – for example:
Choose a start date
If you don't specify a Label, the Field name displays next to the calendar pop-up instead.
- Choose a Width of the date box as a percentage of the page width. For example, 100% spans the entire page.
- Optionally, in the Prefilled text box, enter a hint or example answer to help the respondent understand the information you're asking for. This text appears in the text box when the form loads.
- Choose whether to display the Label above the text box or at the left. The Label displays at the left by default.
- To show the date field only to editors of submissions – and hide it from respondents – select Only visible to editors.
- To make the date field mandatory – the respondent must choose a date before they can submit the form – select the Required checkbox.
- Select Save.
