Overview

Our forms are broken down into pages where possible. Within each page, questions should be broken into sections. Unless the form is short enough to easily follow on a single page, use a new page for each new concept and a new section for each new subject. 

When you set up a new form, follow these important steps.

• To avoid disrupting a user’s vertical momentum and to make the form easier to use, all forms should be in a single column. Use the ‘Vertical layout’ layout field for each input grouping on iCM.
• All fields should be the maximum width with label alignment set to ‘top’.
• The encoding form setting should be set to ‘multi part’ to allow file uploading.
• All headings should be in sentence case for consistency. Please see plain English guidelines for more info.

As an example, we have created a simple, two-page form which includes the all basic elements that you might need.
