Let us start with an overview of how you add questions to a form.  Each online form is made up of questions created in one of two ways.  One method is to add questions to the database and then add them to the form (Jump to that section by clicking here).  A second method adds questions to pages on the form directly, which also saves them to a database (jump to that section by clicking here). Whether you choose to add all your questions to the database first or through the form (which also adds questions to the database), you will be adding questions to your form.  

Adding Contact Fields to your form

Before we talk about how to add questions we want to talk about Contact Fields.  When adding a new form, you can specify which contact fields, like address and home phone number, etc., are captured and/or required. These contact fields will appear at the beginning of your online form.  These are handled differently than adding questions.  So, for further information on this topic, please visit this user guide page Adding, editing, and deleting Online Forms


Adding questions to your form- Overview

If you want to add questions directly to a form, either from the database or directly, you must first start by going to your online form.  Do this by going to Features > Online Forms then selecting the form name you want to edit.  If you have not created your form yet, be sure to follow the directions found in the Adding, editing, and deleting Online Forms page page.  You will see something similar to the image pictured below.  Select the Questions button on the left.

Adding default questions

If you click the Create Default Online Form Questions, those default questions in the RescueGroups.org database will be added to your account for you to use in creating online forms. These questions are common to many rescue groups, they are already named and created, and they can be customized. This example gives you an idea of some of the questions in the database. These default questions are pre-made with the answer types that you'll learn about in the section of this chapter about Creating Questions and Choosing Answer Types, and in the chapter about Using Select Groups
