DocsForm survey mode
In this article, we’ll cover the process of effectively creating surveys using its forms and tables. Visit this support section to learn more about creating and managing a form view in general.
Overview
With the Form view, you have the option to choose between the Form or Survey modes.
- Form mode - All fields are visible and vertically stacked. With the Form mode, you can preview all questions at once.
- Survey mode - One field is visible at a time. With this mode, you can preview one question at a time. Navigate between questions in the editor mode by using the arrows at the bottom-right of the screen.
The Survey mode is restricted to the premium version only. If your account is not on our premium plan, you will not have access to the feature unless your plan is upgraded.
Use form modes in Baserow
To select a mode for your view, click on ‘Mode’ at the top of the screen and choose between the Form or Survey modes:
You can switch between the form or survey modes and work with the mode that produces the best results for you. You also can preview how your completed form will look while you work on it.
Tip 💡Using the survey mode to display one question at a time on the form may result in higher levels of engagement and completion than using a traditional form.
Customize form display
Reorder the fields in the Survey mode by clicking the ‘Order fields’ link at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up a popup of all the fields in the form. Select the field you want to remove and then use the handle ⠿ to reorder the fields.
