use Group Fields in Kiwiform

What the Group Fields does

Group Fields allow you to place multiple fields inside a single block. Instead of asking each question separately across multiple steps, you can group related inputs together. This improves flow, reduces friction, and helps respondents complete forms faster.

A group can include text fields, email fields, website fields, phone fields, and more. Each field inside the group still behaves like an individual input, but they appear together in one step for the respondent.

Group Fields are especially useful when you want to collect related information at once, such as contact details, address details, or profile information.

When to use Group Fields

Use Group Fields when multiple questions belong together and should be answered in one step. This improves clarity and reduces unnecessary transitions between screens.

Common use cases include:

• Contact details: Name, email, phone number

• Business information: Company name, website, role

• Address information: Street, city, postal code

• Registration forms: Personal details grouped together

• Multi-field sections like profile setup or onboarding

Grouping fields helps respondents understand context and complete forms more efficiently.

How to add Group Fields

Add Group Fields

1. Open your form in the Form Builder.

2. Click Add Content.

3. Select Group Fields from the field list.

4. A new group will appear in the Form Fields panel.

5. Drag and drop fields into the group or add new ones inside it.

You can expand or collapse the group from the Form Fields panel to manage the fields inside it.

Adding fields inside a group

After creating a group, you can insert fields into it. Fields inside a group appear together in the same step for respondents.

To add fields inside a group:

• Drag a field into the group from the field list

• Or create a new field while the group is selected

• Reorder fields by dragging them within the group

Each field inside the group can still be configured individually, including validation, required status, and logic.

Group settings

Group Fields include settings that control how the group behaves.

Button label

You can customize the button text that appears at the bottom of the grouped step. This helps guide respondents clearly when they complete the group.

Examples:

• Continue

• Next

• Submit details

This is useful when the group represents a complete section of the form.

Required fields inside groups

Each field inside the group can be marked as required individually. The form will not proceed until all required fields in the group are completed.

This ensures you collect all necessary information while keeping related inputs together.

Managing groups in the Form Fields panel

The Form Fields panel shows groups as expandable sections.

You can:

Expand a group to view its fields

• Collapse a group to keep the form structure clean

• Drag fields into or out of a group

• Reorder groups within the form

This structure helps keep complex forms organized and easy to manage.

How Group Fields appear to respondents

When respondents reach a Group Field step, they see multiple related inputs together. This reduces the number of screens they need to go through and makes the form feel faster and more cohesive.

Grouped fields maintain the conversational flow of Kiwiform while improving efficiency for multi-input sections.

Best practices

• Group fields that belong to the same topic

• Avoid grouping too many fields in one step

• Keep groups short and focused

• Use clear field labels inside groups

• Use the button label to guide the next action

Well-structured groups improve completion rates and make forms easier to navigate.

Summary

Group Fields help you organize related questions into a single step. They reduce friction, improve clarity, and make forms easier to complete. By grouping fields like contact details or profile information, you create a smoother and more efficient experience for respondents while keeping your form structure clean and manageable.
