Find your way around
The builder has a field palette, a form canvas, a toolbar and a settings rail. The palette separates Basic, Layout and Widgets. Click a tile to add it, or drag it to a position in the canvas.
Select a field to open Field Properties. Open Form Settings for settings that belong to the whole form:
| Area | Configure |
|---|---|
| General | Login requirement, multi-step behaviour, header and save/continue options |
| Appearance | Corners, borders, typography, colours and spacing |
| After submit | Confirmation, redirect, respondent email and follow-up actions |
| Data & storage | Database mappings, files and external data sources |
| Integrations | Connections and configured external services |
| C# scripting | Administrator-approved server logic and guided samples |
Save and preview
Save the form before configuring features that need a persisted form ID. Use Preview to check the visitor experience. Device controls help assess layouts, but also test the actual published Umbraco page because the theme and available width differ from the canvas.
Form changes and C# scripts have separate save controls. Use Save script when approving script changes, then save other form edits normally.
Before publishing, check validation, logic and the after-submit experience.
