Flexible Inputs
This article provides information about flexible inputs for building a form.
Flexible inputs are fully customizable form items; you can add any question, answer, or information into the item as you build your form. There are 6 flexible inputs available: Short Answer, Long Answer, Checkbox, Radio Button, Dropdown, and Number.
The following sections give further details on each flexible input.
