Form Builder

Start of documentation content

The Form Builder is a user-friendly way of authoring forms in Formally (although developers may prefer our SDK).

Intro

The form builder is available to customers and it has 3 regions.

  1. 'Tree' (the left column)
  2. 'Tree Item' (the middle column)
  3. 'Draft Preview' (the right column)

Accessibility

As part of our commitment to accessibility we try to ensure that all parts of Formally are accessible, which includes the Form Builder itself.

Keyboard use of the 'Tree'.

Navigate to the tree (move focus to the tree) and then use these commands.
