1.19 Setting up a custom form

The custom form lets you create your own form to collect information from your site visitors. This form can include the following custom fields:

• Single line field - Just a single line of text. Ideal for collecting a name or email address.
• Multi line field - This is a larger text field, suitable for paragraphs of text. This is useful for longer questions or requests.
• Checkbox - Record multiple selections from a list of options.
• Radio button - Record a single selection from a list of options.
• Drop down - Record a single selection from a list of options. Useful for offering a list of options whilst also conserving space.

Each custom form has a limit of 10 fields; 9 custom fields and 1 email address field
