  1. This will open the Form Builder where you can start building your form. Start by adding a Name and Description for the form.

  2. Towards the right, you will be able to see a list of available fields that you can add to the form.

Fields listed in the Saved Fields are either system-generated sample fields or were saved in a previously created form. The Create New tab allows you to create new custom fields that allow various types of data input.

  1. Tap on a field in the Saved Fields tab and then drag it under the Form Fields section on the left to start configuring it.

  1. For Saved Fields you have two options that you can configure:

    1. This is a mandatory field
      Check this box to make this a required field, without which a customer cannot be saved.

    2. Allow Search in Connected Apps
      Check this box if you wish to make the data added for this field searchable during Customer selection in the Connected App. e.g. While searching for customer to tag in Zwing POS.

Make sure you tap the Save Changes button after you make changes to a field in your form.

  1. Here we have added a Radio field to the form. We now need to enter a Name, Description and create multiple Options that the radio can have. If we wish to have an option already selected for the form, we can check the Pre-selected option next to the required option.
