Update form fields
The tools of Study Designer have a drag-and-drop interface to maintain questions and items within forms. There are various form field options such as text fields, checkboxes, dropdown menus, date pickers, and more. You can place these fields on the form canvas and arrange them as needed. The following table provides the full list of sections that describe tool elements that you can use for form configuration and maintenance.
Tip
A question refers to a sentence or phrase that seeks information or clarification about a specific topic related to the subject. An item refers to a field within the form corresponding to a particular question that needs to be recorded for analysis and reporting purposes. For example, a question can be "Gender" and an item for this question can be a listbox with "Female" and "Male" responses.

Important
The table describes actions for simple, log, and grid forms. There is another form type called Header-details. The tools available for the configuration of forms of this type are similar to those described in the table since these forms consist of a
combination of Simple-Log 
and Simple-Grid 
forms.
