How to Configure a Field and Use the Designer

Once you’ve added your Airtable and/or On2Air fields to your form, you need to configure each field setting, such as displaying or hiding the field, default values, linked records setup, prefills, and more.

When configuring each field, it might help to first switch your form to Preview mode so you can see changes as they happen.
