Vello form designer: Form settings
The right sidebar of the form designer has buttons that you can use to open settings for different parts of a form (for example, form questions or form pages).
The buttons shown in the right sidebar are applicable to each part of a form that you use the form designer to select. For example, the sidebar shows different buttons if you select:
- The form
- A form question
- A form page
- An input type
This table gives:
- Each button of the right sidebar and its function
- Documentation about the settings that each button opens
