Form Details in Kiwiform

Learn how to manage and update the core identity of your form in Kiwiform, a free Typeform alternative. The Form Details area helps you set the form name, internal labels, and descriptive information so your team and respondents clearly understand what the form is for and how it should be used.

What are Form Details?

Form Details define how a form is identified inside your workspace and how it appears to respondents. These settings help teams keep forms organized while also ensuring that respondents understand the purpose of the form they are completing.

Clear form details are especially useful when managing multiple forms across different projects, campaigns, or teams. Updating them regularly helps maintain clarity, improves collaboration, and ensures consistency across your workspace.


Where to find Form Details

You can update Form Details from inside the form builder or from the form list view.

  1. Open your workspace and select a form.

  2. In the builder, locate the form name at the top of the page.

  3. Click the name or use the options menu to rename or update details.

  4. Add or edit the form description if available.

These updates are saved automatically and apply to the form across your workspace.


Edit the form name

The form name helps you identify the form inside your workspace and across projects. It also appears in certain internal views and can be used for tracking and organization.

Use a clear naming convention that reflects the form’s purpose, such as:

  • Event Registration – March

  • Customer Feedback – Website

  • Lead Capture – Product Demo

Updating the form name does not affect collected responses or the form link. It simply helps you keep your forms organized.


Add or update form description

The form description provides additional context about the form. It can be used internally for team reference or shown to respondents depending on where it appears in the form.

Use the description to:

  • Explain the purpose of the form

  • Add internal notes for collaborators

  • Provide context for future updates

Keeping descriptions clear helps teams understand the form’s role and reduces confusion when forms are reused or duplicated.


Why Form Details matter

Clear form details improve organization and usability across your workspace. They help teams quickly find the right form and ensure respondents understand what they are filling out.

Use cases include:

  • Managing multiple campaign forms

  • Organizing surveys across departments

  • Updating form context before publishing

  • Maintaining consistent naming across teams

Updating Form Details is often one of the first steps when creating or duplicating a form.


When to update Form Details

You may want to update Form Details when:

  • Starting a new project

  • Duplicating an existing form

  • Changing the form’s purpose

  • Organizing forms across workspaces

  • Preparing a form before publishing

Regular updates ensure your forms remain clear and easy to manage over time.


Best practices

  • Use consistent naming across your workspace

  • Review form details before publishing

Clear and consistent form details make it easier to manage forms at scale and improve collaboration across teams.
