Drag-and-Drop Form Builder

Refers to a visual interface that allows users to design, structure, and customize forms and surveys without writing any code. It simplifies the design process by enabling users to select, move, and arrange components intuitively.

Drag-and-Drop Builder – Key Capabilities

  • Intuitive Field Placement
    Drag any question type (text, dropdown, rating, checkbox, etc.) from the toolbox and drop it directly onto the survey canvas with ease.
  • Smooth Reordering of Questions
    Move questions up or down instantly using drag-and-drop, helping maintain a logical and user-friendly flow.
  • Smart Section-Aware Drag-and-Drop
    When sections are enabled, users can rearrange questions only within their own section. Moving fields outside or into another section is not allowed, preserving survey structure.
  • Clear Visual Drop Indicators
    Valid and invalid drop zones are highlighted during dragging, ensuring users always know where they can and cannot place fields.
  • Organized and Error-Free Layout
    The controlled drag behavior keeps surveys clean, structured, and consistent—preventing accidental misplacement of fields.
  • Real-Time Visual Editing
    Everything placed or moved on the canvas reflects exactly how it will appear to the respondent, offering a true WYSIWYG building experience.
