In order to process your form, you need to tell FormDen what fields to expect when the form is submitted. All fields must have a unique id that corresponds to the field's name. You can see this by looking at the HTML code of any input:

If you are using the form builder, you can import the form's structure. This will import the names of all the fields in your form builder, as well as other relevant information:

If you are coding your form from scratch, you'll need to enter this information manually. The table below explains how each property affects processing.

List of Field Properties

Property	Explanation
Name	This is the unique id that let's FormDen identify the field.
Type	This describes the field. It will be used to validate the field. See table below.
Title	The Title will be used in emails. It can differ from the <label>.
Required	If "true", submissions not be accepted until this field is completed.
Validate	If "true", submissions will be validated against the field "Type". (e.g. if the "Type" is email, only emails will be accepted.
Error Text	The error message that will appear when a field is rejected as invalid. Useful for reminders (e.g. That doesn't look like a number!)

It is important to understand the different field types. Otherwise, your fields will not be validated correctly.
