If you have a form with quite a few fields, it can sometimes become a bit daunting for someone filling out the form. Many times, the form can be simplified by spanning it across several pages. Due to less content being displayed at a time, large forms will not only become more pleasant but also load faster on your site because less information is being loaded at a time. In this article, we will show you how to create a multi-page form using Gravity Forms.
Setup
First, you’ll need to access the form editor within Gravity Forms. To do so, click onFormson the left side of your WordPress admin, then click onAdd New.
Next, it’s time to start creating a form by adding fields. This article assumes that you have a basic understanding in creating forms, but if you need more information on how to create a form in Gravity Forms, see ourform creationarticle. Go ahead and add any fields you will need.
Now that you have your form fields in place, you just need to separate the fields by page. To do this, go to the right of the form editor and look inside theStandard Fieldssection. Inside this section, click on thePagefield type.
Upon clicking onPage, you should see that 3 items have been added to the form editor. These items allow you to determine where pages begin and end. 2 of these items,Begin PagingandEnd Pagingsimply define that this form is a multi-page form. These items cannot be moved and will always be located at the beginning and end of the form editor when editing a multi-page form. You should also see aPage Breakfield type displayed within the form editor. This item separates the individual pages in a multi-page form. The items above it will be on the first page, and items after it will be on the second page.
If you want to add additional pages to a multi-page form, all you have to do is click on thePagefield type again to add an additional page break, and position it where you would like the previous page to end and the next page to begin. You can add as many page breaks as you want.
Options
To modify the behavior of multi-page forms, options exist within the individual items that are added using thePagefield. For more information on how you can modify settings specific to multi-page forms, take a look at thePage Break field typearticle.
