You will work on text fields and modify sample text. You have to initiate with different text fields on the top of the form. Select the tool of a text field in a toolbox and draw one box in a designated space where you want to enter information of users. If text boxes have similar names, the data may be linked together, and information will be typed in a box. You must change the name of the box and choose fields of a specific text by selecting the desired option. You can’t submit a form until you complete its all fields.

A tooltip is essential to use while concentrating on usability. It allows you to explain more actions that you need your user to perform.

In the next step, you have to add a radio button and make these buttons active. With this button, users can accept one choice only, and they can’t have various choices with this tab.

Options tab allows you to choose the style of button that means, fill type and shape. You must consider the tooltip of each button to enhance the usability of your forms.

You must choose a trigger from action tap. It is essential to add comment boxes. These boxes are similar to text boxes. To write something in boxes, you have to double-click them.

You must select multi-line for your text instead of scrolling long text. The multi-line makes it easy for users to continue typing and automatically move to next lines.

You may not need a reset button, especially if you want to use this form once.  If you are going to use a form for multiple times, you can choose a reset button.

Finally, you can add email button or submit button. The user can create one email and save this form. It allows you to send an email to the right person.
