Another new genre of fields you can use with your WebForms is Survey Tools. These are great for getting the end user's information similar to a survey.

Creates a drop down menu for the user to select a number.

Allows the user to react with an emoticon.

Creates a matrix that allows the user to select a multitude of options similar to how ratings appear on a survey.

Event Tools

Another great set of tools are the event tools.  These can come in handy if you're using your form to schedule or coordinate events.

This integration with Acuity Scheduling allows users to schedule calendar events directly onto a calendar. You must create an account with them.

Connects a date and time to the user's calendar and can integrate with Yahoo, Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCal.

Creates a timer that counts down to a specific time, e.g. the date of an event or the deadline for the form's submission.

Creates a Map on the form. This is useful if you want to include a location of an event.  

Your Turn!

Go ahead and create a form using all of these fields.  Link to whatever videos and upload whatever images you would like. Then, go into Live Mode and see what it will look like to the end user.

Now that you've learned how to include the Image & Video, Survey, and Event Tools, let's dive into Specialty Tools.
