Forms

Forms turns a table from the Bases module into a public page where anyone can submit data — no account needed. You choose which columns become fields, style the page with its own look, publish it with a link, and every submission lands as a new row in the table. This page is the overview — each topic has its own page below.

Overview

A form is built on top of a table from Bases: its fields come from the table's columns. You decide which columns to include, how each field looks, and how the page is styled. When someone submits the form, their answer is written as a new row that you read back in Bases.

Core concepts

Form

A public page built from one table in Bases. It can be published ("Published" switch) or kept as a draft.

Field

A question on the form, mapped from a table column. Not every column type can become a field.

Response

One submission. Each response becomes a new row in the underlying table.

Public link

The address of the published page, in the format /f/ followed by a short random code. The code is created when the form is first saved and never reveals your name or the table behind it.

In this module

Each topic below has its own page:

Build a form

Create the form from a table, pick which columns become fields, set requirements and presentation, and reuse team templates.

Design and appearance

Accent color, font, light or dark appearance, corners, density and title image — a look that belongs to the form, not to the app.

Publish and responses

Publish the public link, share the QR code, block spam, and read the responses as rows in Bases.
