For each field that you add to your form, there is a set of configurations that you can choose from. It sits on the right-hand side of your screen:

This article will explain what the different configuration means per question option.

Most of the question fields have the following configurations:

Visible on mobile: This means the question/field will appear on the users' devices. You can untick this box when you wish to remove a question from the form, but you do not want to lose the data associated with it. If you delete a question entirely, it also deletes all of the previous data that the users entered for it.

Editable on mobile: This allows the users to fill the question in.

This field must have a value: This makes the question compulsory and the user will not be able to submit the form if they have not completed this field

Email field:

If the "Send to recipients" configuration is ticked, the field is used to email a copy of the form to the recipients entered.
