Adding Content

Adding content is the foundation of form building. In Kiwiform, everything starts from the Add Content button available at the bottom of the Form Builder. From simple text inputs to advanced logic-ready fields, this is where you shape how respondents interact with your form.

This guide explains how to add new fields, understand field categories, identify premium fields, and import existing questions.


How to Add Content to Your Form

To insert a new field:

  1. Open your form in the Form Builder

  2. Click the + Add Content button at the bottom

  3. Choose a field from the modal pop-up

  4. The selected field will be added to your form instantly


Understanding the Add Content Modal

When you click + Add Content, a modal appears with categorized field types. These categories help you quickly find the right type of input for your use case.


The modal includes:

Contact Information

  • Contact Details

  • Email

  • Phone Number

  • Address

  • Website

Use these when collecting structured personal or business details.

Selection Fields

  • Multiple Selection

  • Drop Down

  • Picture Selection

  • Yes / No

  • Legal Text

  • Check Box

These fields allow respondents to choose from predefined options.

Rating & Ranking

  • Opinion Scale

  • Feedback Score

  • Rating

  • Ranking Scale

  • Matrix

Best for surveys, feedback forms, product research, and evaluations.

Text & Video

  • Text Area (Long)

  • Text Box (Short)

  • Video & Audio (Pro) 👑

  • Date Picker

  • Quote

Use these for open-ended responses, media interactions, and scheduling.

Other Fields

  • Payment (Pro) 👑

  • File Upload

  • Number

  • Partial Submission (Pro) 👑

  • Redirect to Link (Pro) 👑

These fields extend functionality beyond standard forms, enabling monetization, uploads, and advanced flows.

Optional Fields

  • Group Fields

  • Multiple Fields

  • Welcome Screen

  • Ending Screen

These help structure your form into better experiences rather than just question lists.


Premium Fields (Pro Icon 👑)

Some fields display a Pro icon. These are premium features available to Pro plan users.

If you’re on the Free plan, you can still see these fields in the list, but they require upgrading to activate. This helps you understand what’s possible as your form needs grow.


Import Fields Option

At the top of the modal, you’ll see:

  • Add Form Field

  • Import Fields

The Import Fields option allows you to bring questions from an existing form (such as Google Forms import). This is useful if you’re migrating or rebuilding a form without starting from scratch.


When Should You Add Different Field Types?

  • Lead generation forms: Use Contact fields + Required toggle

  • Surveys: Use Multiple Selection, Opinion Scale, Matrix

  • Feedback forms: Use Feedback Score + Text Area

  • Event forms: Use Date Picker + Contact Details

  • Order forms: Use Payment + Redirect

  • Application forms: Use File Upload + Long Text

Choosing the right field improves completion rates and response quality.


Best Practices When Adding Content

  • Start with essential fields first (name, email, core questions)

  • Keep the flow logical and conversational

  • Avoid adding too many fields on one screen

  • Use ratings and selections for faster responses

  • Add Welcome and Ending screens for better engagement

  • Use premium fields only when necessary to maintain simplicity

Remember : A good form is clear, structured, and easy to complete.
