The Forms element displays a form built in the new Forms module on a Composer page or banner, including settings to pick the active form and to override the page title and SEO metadata when the form is used as a landing page. Look for the pink 'NEW' banner above the icon on the Module tab to identify it.
💡Quick answers
- Forms vs Form element: which to use? Use Forms (this element, with the pink 'NEW' banner) for the new Forms module. The Form element is for the older legacy Forms Manager.
- Where is the Forms element located? On the Module tab of the Element Library, identified by the pink 'NEW' banner above the icon.
- Displaying a new Forms form on a page? Click the gear icon or 'Please Select a Form,' and pick the form from the dropdown.
- Why doesn't my form show in the dropdown? Only forms with Active status appear. Set the form to Active in the Forms module; see 'Build a form.'
- When to use Override Page Title and SEO Metadata? When the form is the focus of a landing page. This lets the form's title drive the page metadata when the direct URL is shared.
What are Elements?
Elements are the fundamental building blocks of your Composer pages. Learn more about how elements work in the article, "Understanding elements" and read about each of the 5 tabs in the element library: Standard, Module, Layout, Social, and Shared.
The Forms element can be added to a page so that you can display a form that is created in the Forms module directly onto your page. Forms can be beautifully displayed full width in a column or even off in a left or right column to be available without taking over the page.
Open up your Element Library on a Composer page. Go to the Module tab and select Forms to place a Forms element onto your page.Â
In addition to the common element settings, the Forms element has the following configuration options.
Forms element settings
Click either Please Select a Form or the element settings gear to adjust the settings.Â
Form dropdown: Select the form you want to display on the page. The dropdown menu is populated with forms that were created in the Forms module.
Important Note
Only forms with the Active status will be displayed in the dropdown. If your form isn't showing, be sure you have set your form to Active.
Override Page Title and SEO Metadata: Check this box when you are Setting a form landing page that your forms will open up onto. A form landing page allows your site's styling to be applied to the form whenever you share the direct URL with others. This will dynamically display the form's title based on the form's direct URL.Â
