What is the Advanced Form Builder?

One of two builders in GoCanvas, the Advanced Form Builder is our legacy form builder. Create, update, and revolutionize your work process starting with your forms.

GoCanvas allows you to capture signatures, insert photos, capture GPS coordinates, dispatch technicians to jobs, conduct calculations and utilize common form fields like drop-downs, checkboxes, text boxes, and more. Mobile forms can do so much more than your paper forms!

Below are three basic components of the Advanced Form Builder you will need to understand:

1. On the left, the Field Library and Settings allow you to quickly add a field to the currently selected screen. In order to add a field to the current screen, just drag the field type from the Field Palette to the screen. After adding a field to a screen, you can label the field and click the field to view field settings.
2. On the right, the Form Outline allows you quickly see the flow of the current form, reorder screens, select a screen to edit, or preview the fields added to a screen. To reorder screens using the Screen Outline, just drag the screen you wish to move and drop it in the place you want it to appear.
3. The center of the builder is the current screen you are editing. Add, rename, and reorder fields or edit the screen name within this representation of your mobile device.
