Gravity Forms Overview – Video & Article
This training video offers an overview of what you can expect from Gravity Forms.
If you’re on your Dashboard and you click on Forms, you’ll notice active buttons. At the top you have the Add New button to add a new form; when you hover over a form, you still see the same options of Edit Settings, Entries, Results, Preview, Duplicate, and Trash; you can still Bulk Edit.
If you click on Edit underneath one of your forms, at the top, you’ll see a drop-down where you can switch from one form to another easily. You’ll also find your settings near the top – Settings, Confirmations, Notifications – and if you have multiple plugins, there may be more things listed there. Your Entries are near the top as well.
Payments/Sales
If you have a payment set up – for instance, if you’re on a donation form or some sort of registration form – you’ll see a new tab called Sales, and that will take you to some reporting.
Editor
- Hover over a field and click on the left “move” icon to move a field up and down – you can drag-and-drop it.
- The second icon is to duplicate the field.
- The third is how you’ll access the field’s settings. You’re going to see the settings over on the right – this is where you’ll change things like the field label, the description, if the field is required or not. You’ll also see at the very bottom of the field settings Appearance, Advanced, and Conditional Logic.
If you ever want to go back to add a field, you click on the Add Fields tab at top of the field settings area, and this will take you to the field selection screen.
There are icons for field types: Standard Fields, Advanced Fields, Post Fields, and Pricing Fields.
You can also drag-and-drop above and below, and left and right. You can create up to four columns in a Gravity Form, and this will translate over to the form that resides on your page. It takes advantage of the white space that used to exist on many forms. So if you have a lot of white space on your form, you can put fields in one row instead of having them all stacked vertically.
