Specialty Tools

This is another great set of tools that make WebForms great. You can do anything from prove submitters aren't robots to allowing them to draw you pictures.

You'll see what I mean.

Specialty Tools

Creates a place for you to include HTML on your WebForm enabling you to embed external objects like videos or chat boxes.

Similar to Attachments, but uploads directly to Box, a cloud-based storage service.

A text field that enables you to add up to 1000 possible entries that will be suggested to the end user as they type.

Behaves similarly to Calculations on Docs. This creates a field that will automatically calculate an amount based on a formula that can reference other fields.

Creates a field for the user to draw either on a blank white or over an image. This is great if you need someone to indicate what something looks like, where it occurs (e.g. damage on a car), etc.

Advanced function that allows you to check a Google Sheet and only accept data that is found.

An advanced version of CAPTCHA by Google.  We recommend this one over the regular CAPTCHA field.

Creates a unique identifying number with a customizable prefix or suffix enabling each submission to be tracked.

Applies the eSignature of a Signer implying written consent and recording technical information of the time and hardware used.  

Allows you to capture technical information like IP address and browser info from the user as they submit the form.

Behaves similarly to the receipt field in the sense that it allows you to create a unique number or identifier to your submissions.

Allow you to create pre-determined fields for your users to add more of the same information.

Show where your event or office is located on a Google Map.

Example of Canvas Sketch:

As you can see, the list is pretty comprehensive so the best way to really learn them will be to test them out.
