Types of Forms

There are several tabs on the main FormBuilder page:

Submission Forms

Your organisation can design custom forms to collect information from members, supporters, or staff. Using CiviCRM's form tool FormBuilder, you can build interactive forms for manual data entry, such as creating new contacts or logging specific activities, without needing any technical knowledge.

For more details, see the following pages for creating data entry forms.

Search Forms

If your organisation needs a unique directory, a volunteer portal, or an internal search page tailored to specific criteria, you can connect your existing SearchKit configurations directly to FormBuilder. This allows users to filter through CiviCRM records on a dedicated screen.

More details can be found in the searching and reporting pages.

Field Blocks

These are reusable template blocks that can be used when creating submission forms. By default, CiviCRM has a field block for items that can have more than one, including addresses, emails, notes, etc, plus a block for each custom field set. These can be edited to suit your site's needs.
