# Form element
Add custom form elements to your funnel. Use these elements to build an email list, qualify leads, collect user information, build checklists, and more.
## **Choosing the form element type**
There are seven **Input type** options of form elements to choose from. Each one will define what kind of information you want to collect in the field.
## Input type
### Checkbox
Use a **checkbox** to collect data or confirm statements. You can also add a red asterisk that indicates filling the checkbox is a requirement.
### **Input**
The **Input** form element will allow you to collect customer's personal information such as full name, phone number and shipping information.
Use **Input** for a fixed-width (and responsive) field best suited for short text answers.
### **Textarea**
The **Textarea** option allows adding a frame that supports text overflow.
### **Radio**
The **Radio** input type allows you to add one or more circles and create a list of options to choose from.
If you want to have multiple options:
1. Click the Radio form element in your canvas once to select it.
2. In the top right corner of the blue box that surrounds your element, click Clone FormElement.
3. A new option for your form element will appear.
4. Click on the text to modify it.
### **Number**
When using the **Number** input type, users can enter a number or use the arrows to increase/decrease the value in the field.
### **Select**
The **Select** input type creates a drop-down menu that you can customize with a list of options we offer. The “All countries” section will be set as a default for this input type.
To customize the form:
1. Scroll down to the **Props** section.
2. Click the **Data type** field and select which kind of data you want to collect with the form.
3. Click the **Options** field and select the options the drop-down will display in your funnel.
#### Custom option
You can add a custom list of the countries where you offer your product.
1. In the **Options** field, select **Custom**.
2. On the new section below, click **Add option**.
3. Under the **Name** field, input how you will identify the field.
4. Under the **Value** field, input what your customer will see on the drop-down menu.
#### Dynamic provinces/states option
This option allows you to have a field that automatically updates the states/provinces of a previously selected country.
{% hint style="info" %}
To make this option work, you need to accompany it with an **All countries** or **Custom** option.
{% endhint %}
Once you have set up a select form field with the **All countries** or **Custom** option:
1. Add a new **form element** to your canvas.
2. Click **Select** in the **Input type** section.
3. Scroll down to the **Props** section.
4. In the **Data type** field, select one of the options associated with a state/city.
5. In the **Options** field, select **Dynamic provinces/states**.
6. Click **Save changes** in the top right corner of your page.
7. Click the **Preview** button and try out your forms to verify the Dynamic provinces/states are automatically displayed after selecting a country.
### Double input
The **Double input** type creates two input fields in the form, this allows you to organize better the information provided by your customer.
* To set it up, scroll down in the **settings panel** to the **Props** section and fill in the **Data type** and **Data type #2** fields with the information type you want to collect.
## Props
Every form element offers different settings options, which you can find under the **Props** section in the **settings panel**.
### Toggle switches
#### Is required? toggle switch
Forces the customer to fill out the form to be able to continue to the next step.
#### Show label? toggle switch
Most of the forms allow you to have a **Label** that acts as a title to the form or information regarding the field. This switch gives you the option to show or hide these labels.
### Data type
Click the **Data type** field to assign the type of information the form will collect from your customers.
### Placeholder
Use this optional feature to place helpful text inside the form element and guide your customers on the information they need to input into that specific field.
