Form fields can be mapped to the custom fields you create in Database → Fields. You can display this field data in other places; for example, on a person record’s custom tab.

To map a form field to a custom field:

1. Go to Forms.

2. Select an existing form, or create a new one.

3. Select Edit Form.

4. Select a tool from the form palette that collects data in a way that maps to your custom field:

   • Free text: Text Box, Paragraph Text

   • Single prompt list value: Option Buttons, Rating Scale, Select List

   • Multiple prompt list values: Check Boxes, Selectable, Multi-select List

   • Bit (yes/no): Option Buttons

5. Configure the following settings:

   • Status: Active

   • Type: You can select a different palette tool from this list if you want to change the input type.

   • Label: Enter instructional text that appears to the registrant.

   • System Field: Select your custom field’s scope from the list. The scopes that appear in this list are determined by your form’s scope. A new list appears; select the custom field from this list.

   • Options: If this field is required, select Required for submission

6. Select Save.

This mapped form field appears on the form:

When a registrant submits the form, their response to this question populates the custom field you created in Database → Fields.
