Creating sets

You can create sets with frequently used combinations of form elements, which you can then add to any form with just a single click.

By using sets, you can save time, because you will no longer need to add these groups of recurring form elements individually to each form. Instead, you can simply add them all quickly and easily, while also ensuring the consistent use of these form elements.

When creating sets, you can choose whether to make them available just for your own use or also for the members in your team. You can also specify whether certain properties of form elements – such as error messages and information fields – should also be stored in the set.

Saving form elements as a set

  1. Create or open a form that contains the specific combination of form elements that you want to group into a set. The editor is open. A form called Registration is open. There are various form elements in the form.
  2. Click the green plus symbol.
    A popover appears with the form elements.
    Click the Sets tab and then the New set button. The editor is open. The popover with the form elements and sets is open. An arrow with a 1 points to the Sets tab, another arrow with the number 2 points to the New set button.
  3. In the Create set dialog window, choose whether the set should only be available to you or also available to other colleagues who share your account and then click Next. A dialogue window is opened. The user must select here whether the set should only be available to them or to all users in their account.
  4. You can assign an icon to the set in the Edit set dialog window. To do this, click the arrow tip and select an appropriate icon.
    You then need to give your set a name. Take care to ensure that you pick a meaningful name that clearly shows what the set can be used for.
    With Apply properties, you specify that the settings you have made for the form elements – such as error messages, information fields, etc. – will also be stored as part of the set.
    Now select the form elements that you want to save in the set. The Edit set dialogue window opens. An icon and a name for the new set to be created can be assigned here. A pen has been selected for the set and Registration for the name. The form elements available in the form can be selected via a dropdown.
  5. All of the form elements that you have added to the set are listed in the dialog window. You can drag and drop the form elements to change their order.
    To edit a form element or view its settings, click the pen symbol next to the corresponding element.
    To remove a form element, click the wastepaper bin symbol. The Edit registration set dialogue window is opened. A pen has been assigned to the set as an icon. The Apply properties checkbox is activated. There are several form elements in the set.
  6. Click Save to save the set. You will now find the set on the Sets tab, with the form elements under My sets. The editor is open. The popover form element is open and the Sets tab is selected. The newly created registration set can be seen under My sets.

Your set of form elements has been created successfully and can now be added to forms with just a single click.

Creating sets directly in the form tree

In addition to creating sets of form elements using the green plus symbol, you can also create a set directly in the form tree. This method is particularly useful when you want to quickly and easily save multiple selected form elements as a set.

  1. Select form elements
    In the form tree, select the form elements you want to group into a set by holding down the Ctrl key (or Cmd key on Mac) and clicking on the desired elements.
  2. Create the set
    Right-click on the selection and choose New Set from the context menu.
  3. Configure the set
    Proceed with the same steps as when creating a set using the plus symbol.
    Specify whether the set should be available only to you or also to your team members, provide a meaningful name for the set, and select an icon.

By using this method, you can create sets directly from within the existing structure of form elements, which is especially helpful for complex forms.
