Summary

This article serves as a simple guide to build forms.

Visit the Form Builder Overview for a reference to all the elements shown on the Form Builder screen.

Note: The form builder comes pre-loaded with the same forms as the study that was used to copy. These forms can be reused, changed, or deleted. 

This article will cover the steps in creating new forms from scratch. All of these make up steps 4-6 in the study building process.

1. Create a new form or edit a form
   
2. Repeat step 1 for all forms needed in the study
3. Add additional fields
4. Ensure the registration/enrollment form for the study (as defined here) has at least one log field identified.
5. Build form logic and edit checks
6. Copying, moving, and reusing forms
   
7. Identify which forms are log forms. These are forms that can be collected anytime
8. Other form building tools that you can review for how to use tools like the preview, auto-validation, and design notification messages
   
9. Making form changes can be done after go-live anytime needed
   
10. As you make changes, be sure to test them. You can do this by entering test data in the Subject Manager
11. Continue on with the Study Building Guide.
