We're going to start by adding fields to collect basic information

00:00:14

such as users first and last names.

00:00:17

From the list of available types,

00:00:19

select text,

00:00:21

type the question,

00:00:21

for example,

00:00:23

first and last name

00:00:25

tip

00:00:26

you can also add an image to the question to make it more visual and engaging.

00:00:34

The text type has several useful options.

00:00:37

Long answer

00:00:38

enable this if you want the user to enter more expanded text,

00:00:43

such as a comment or message

00:00:46

required.

00:00:47

If you enable this option,

00:00:49

the user must respond before submitting the form.

00:00:52

In the three dots menu,

00:00:53

you may add

00:00:55

restrictions.

00:00:56

You can limit responses to numbers only,

00:00:59

such as for a phone number field.

00:01:03

You can also add a branching to your questions.

00:01:06

This allows the user journey to be adapted according to their response.

00:01:11

For example,

00:01:12

if the person answers yes to a question,

00:01:15

they may be directed to another part of the form.

00:01:18

We'll see the branching paths in more detail in another video.

00:01:23

Once your first question has been created,

00:01:25

you can duplicate it using the corresponding icon.

00:01:29

The copy appears immediately below it

00:01:32

and then you can change the title or settings.

00:01:35

This saves you time creating several similar fields.

00:01:38

When you have finished writing a question,

00:01:41

click outside the field to validate it

00:01:43

or use the add new question button to continue.

00:01:47

During the construction of your form,

00:01:49

you can at any time.

00:01:51

Edit a question,

00:01:52

delete it with the trash can icon,

00:01:55

or rearrange the order of the questions

00:01:58

with the arrows or by simply dragging and dropping.

00:02:03

Now you know how to use text fields in your Microsoft Forms forms.

00:02:08

With these options,

00:02:10

you can create interactive forms that are tailored to your needs

00:02:13

and easy for your users to fill out.

00:02:16

In the next module,

00:02:18

we'll learn how to add a date field to a Microsoft Forms form

00:02:22

or quiz.
