Accessing Fields #

When building any form type in FORMEPIC, you’ll find the Field Palette on the left side of the builder. Simply search for the field you need using the search bar, or browse through the organized categories. Once you find the right field, just drag it onto your form canvas—it’s that simple. The builder also features AI-powered field suggestions that can recommend the best fields based on your form’s purpose, and you can even generate complete field sets using AI by describing what information you need to collect.

AI-Powered Field Features #

FORMEPIC brings artificial intelligence to field creation and configuration, making complex tasks effortlessly simple. The AI Form Builder can generate entire forms with appropriate field types based on your description, automatically selecting the most suitable fields for your use case. For calculation fields, describe what you want to calculate in plain English, and AI will generate the proper formula. The AI Editor can also modify existing fields, add validation rules, and optimize field arrangements based on best practices—all through natural conversation.

Tips and Tricks #

Start with the essential fields your users absolutely must complete, and mark only these as required—this dramatically reduces form abandonment. When you have more than 7-8 fields, break them into multiple pages using page breaks, which makes long forms feel manageable and increases completion rates. For any field collecting structured data like addresses, dates, or calculations, leverage the built-in specialized field types rather than generic text fields—you’ll get automatic validation and better data quality. Add help text to fields that might confuse users; a few words of clarification can eliminate back-and-forth questions later. If you’re collecting payment information, always test your form in test mode first to ensure the payment flow works smoothly. Use conditional logic to hide irrelevant fields based on previous answers, creating a dynamic experience that only asks users for information that matters to them. For multi-step forms, enable the progress indicator so users can see how far they’ve come and what’s left—it significantly reduces abandonment.

Important Notes #

Required fields should be kept to an absolute minimum—research shows that every additional required field decreases your completion rate. File upload fields need careful consideration of file size limits and allowed file types; balance security with user needs. Payment fields require proper SSL certificates on custom domains, and you must comply with payment processor requirements. Calculation fields recalculate in real-time as users type, so design your formulas to handle empty or partial data gracefully. Matrix fields work beautifully on desktop but can be challenging on mobile devices, so test thoroughly or consider alternative field types for mobile-first forms. The captcha field protects against spam but adds friction—only add it if you’re experiencing actual spam problems. When using conditional logic, be careful not to create scenarios where required fields become hidden, which can prevent form submission. Remember that fields like signature and file upload may need extra loading time, so inform users with appropriate help text.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting #

Fields not showing up: Check conditional logic settings—the field might be hidden based on rules that are currently active. Make sure the conditions are set up correctly and test different scenarios.

Calculation not working: Verify that all fields referenced in your formula exist and have the correct field IDs. Calculations only work with numeric fields, so ensure you’re not trying to calculate with text fields. Check for syntax errors in complex formulas.

Payment field errors: Confirm that your Stripe or PayPal API keys are correctly entered and that you’re using the right mode (test vs. live). Ensure your domain has a valid SSL certificate. Verify that the payment amount is properly calculated and not negative or zero.

File uploads failing: Check that file size limits aren’t too restrictive and that the file types are allowed. Verify your storage settings have enough capacity. Large files may time out—consider reducing the max file size.

Dropdown showing blank options: Make sure each option has actual content and that there are no empty lines in your options list. Check for extra spaces or hidden characters.

Address field not autocompleting: Address autocomplete requires enabling the feature and may need API configuration for certain maps integrations. Test with different addresses to ensure the service is working.

Timer not starting: Verify the timer start trigger setting—it may be set to manual start. Check that timer duration is properly set for countdown mode. Ensure there are no JavaScript errors blocking the timer functionality.

Matrix fields confusing on mobile: Consider using individual single choice or scale fields instead of matrix on mobile-responsive forms. If you must use matrix, keep the number of columns minimal and test thoroughly on actual mobile devices.
