Tiger Forms ships a deep catalog of field types covering everything from a single line of text to priced products, signatures, ratings and live calculations. You build a form by dragging fields from the palette onto the canvas, then configuring each one’s label, width, validation and conditional logic in the settings panel.
Where: the field palette on the left of the form builder, grouped into Basic, Choice, Advanced and Layout. Drag a tile onto the canvas, or click it to append the field.
Basic fields
- Single line, Paragraph, Email, Phone, Password, URL — the standard text inputs. Email and URL come with matching validation already attached.
- Number and Whole number — numeric entry, the latter with a step and optional min/max.
- Range slider — pick a value between a min and max, optionally showing the live value.
- Name and Address — composite fields with built-in subfields (first/last; street, city, state, ZIP, country) you can toggle and require individually.
Choice fields
- Dropdown, Radio, Checkboxes, Single checkbox, Multi-select — every option carries its own label and stored value, and can be pre-selected.
- Image choice — a visual picker rendered as a grid of images.
- Product / Service — attaches a price (and optional description) to each option; this is the field that feeds the payment total at checkout.
- Toggle, Country, State / Province — a boolean switch and two pre-populated geographic pickers.
Advanced fields
- Date, Time, Date & time — with before/after/between constraints.
- File upload — accepts a whitelist of extensions, a max size in MB, and single or multiple files; each attachment is stored and virus-scanned with the entry.
- Rating (stars), NPS score (0–10 with low/high labels), and Likert matrix for survey grids.
- Signature — a drawn signature with configurable height and pen color.
- Calculation — computes a live value from other fields (see Calculations).
- Color and Repeater — a color picker, and a repeatable group of child fields with min/max rows.
Layout fields
These structure the form rather than collect input: Heading, Section, Divider, Spacer, Image, HTML block, and Consent (a required checkbox with an optional policy link — see GDPR & consent). A Page break splits a long form into a multi-step flow, and a Hidden field carries a value the user never sees.
Validation & defaults
Every field can be marked required and given a placeholder, default value and custom width. Beyond that, the rules engine offers checks for length, min/max, numeric/integer, pattern (regex), list membership, “same as” / “different from” another field, date ranges, and file count, size, type and image dimensions. Disposable email domains can be blocked automatically. Each field also has a Field ID that other fields reference in calculations, merge tags and conditional logic.
Troubleshooting
Why don’t I see the field I want in the palette?
The palette hides internal boundaries such as the page break, which is added through the on-canvas Add step flow instead of dragged. Use the search box at the top of the palette to filter by name if the list is long.
My choice values look wrong in the entry — why?
Choice fields store the option’s value, not its label. Open the field and check each option’s value column; if it’s blank, the label is stored instead. Set explicit values when you need clean data for exports or integrations.
