Step 2: Designer - Customizing the form
Form components may include company logo, labels, field types, etc. You can build your form by adding as many fields as you like. The form designer has a simple drag and drop interface, where you can drag the fields you require and drop them on the canvas to start building your form.
The forms that you create are comprised of the items, or form fields, that you can select from the left panel. They can contain text, drop down choice lists, radio buttons, date, attachments, note, html editor, or pre-formatted elements such as fullname, address, ssn, signature, etc.
Adding Fields
There are two ways to add a field to your form,
•Click and drag a field to drop it into your form at desired location
•Click once on the field and it will be added at the end of the form
Once the fields are added, you can re-arrange them by simply clicking on a field and then dragging it to a new position on your form.

•Click once on the field on your form, the field will be highlighted
