# Forms

Forms let you collect data from users - whether they are in the field on a mobile device, working from a desktop, or submitting responses remotely via a shared link. Every form is linked to a table in your project, so each question on the form maps directly to a column in that table. When someone submits a form, a new row is added to the linked table automatically.

## Before you start

Before you can create a form, you need:

1. **A table** - this is where the form data will be stored. Create one from the Tables page in your project sidebar.
2. **Storage (optional)** - if your form will include file upload questions, make sure your project has storage set up.

## What you can do with forms

* Design custom forms with different question types (text, numbers, dropdowns, GPS location, and more)
* Collect data offline and sync it later when you have internet access
* Share forms via a link so anyone can submit responses
* Customise the look and feel of your forms with colours and layouts

## Managing forms in the list

Each form in the list has an **options menu** - click the three-dot (ellipsis) button on the right side of the form row to open it. The options menu gives you quick access to:

* **Share** - opens the public share URL for the form (only available for Insert-type forms when sharing is enabled)
* **Settings** - navigates to the form's settings page
* **Delete** - permanently removes the form
