This promotes data consistency and saves time through reusability. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-4480-PM.png?width=670&height=469&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-4480-PM.png) **Create from Scratch:** Allows for the build of custom questions when the library does not contain the necessary field. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-49-9926-PM.png?width=670&height=467&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-49-9926-PM.png) --- ### Question Type Definitions & Usage Each question type is designed for a specific data need or visual requirement: - **Radio Button:** Best for **1–4 options**. If more than 4 options exist, this type should be avoided for better UI. (Note: Incompatible with Question Groups). ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-50-2399-PM.png?width=281&height=265&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-50-2399-PM.png) - **List:** Used for **5+ options**. It includes a **search bar** at the top to help users navigate long lists. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-9373-PM.png?width=296&height=361&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-9373-PM.png) - **Dropdown:** Used for many static options while saving vertical space. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-0371-PM.png?width=273&height=83&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-0371-PM.png) - **Checkbox:** The only **multi-select** option. It functions as a simple toggle for each item. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-7116-PM.png?width=278&height=160&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-7116-PM.png) - **Slider:** Used for **numeric inputs** like GPA or for providing feedback on a scale. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-52-1850-PM.png?width=277&height=90&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-52-1850-PM.png) - **Short Answer:** Standard single-line text input. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-49-5437-PM.png?width=259&height=66&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-49-5437-PM.png) - **Paragraph:** Used for long-form text. The input box size is adjustable. - **AI Integration:** Content in this field can be used to **generate an AI response** for the user at the end of the form. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-49-7735-PM.png?width=278&height=140&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-49-7735-PM.png) - **Statement:** A non-question field used to provide feedback, instructions, or headers to the user. - **Date Picker:** Used for selecting specific calendar dates and time fields. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-50-4266-PM.png?width=271&height=89&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-50-4266-PM.png) --- ### Specialized Data Fields These fields are pre-configured for specific administrative data: - **Phone Number:** Includes automatic format validation. - **Zip Code:** Specifically for postal code data. - **High School:** A text field for students to enter their graduated or expected high school. - **Program Start:** Simplifies date entry. While a specific date is stored, the user sees a simplified **Season and Year** (e.g., Spring 2025). #### ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-2502-PM.png?width=292&height=380&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-51-2502-PM.png) --- ### Question Grouping **Question Groups** allow you to cluster multiple questions together for better organization. However, they are limited to specific question types. | **Compatible with Groups** | **NOT Compatible** | | --- | --- | | Dropdown | Radio Button | | Slider | List | | Short Answer | Checkbox | | Phone Number | Paragraph | | Program Start | | | Zip Code | | | High School | | | Date Picker | | | Statement | | --- ### Conditionality To ensure users only see the most relevant information, AI Form utilizes two types of conditional logic: #### **1. Conditional Logic Groups** - **Definition:** This determines which specific **answer choices** are shown based on a previous question. - **Example:** If a user selects that they are a **Computer Science major**, the next question dynamically filters to show only the different **emphases** available for that specific major. - **Trigger Rules:** This logic requires a defined, selectable value to act as a trigger. It is only compatible with **Radio Button, Dropdown, and List** question types. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-50-8398-PM.png?width=395&height=298&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-50-8398-PM.png) #### **2. Conditional Skipping** - **Definition:** This allows the form to **skip an entire question** or section based on an answer. - **Example:** If a question regarding documentation is only applicable to **international students**, the form can be set to skip that question entirely if the user identifies as a domestic student. - **Trigger Rules:** Like logic groups, conditional skipping is only compatible with **Radio Button, Dropdown, and List** question types. Anything that is a form of free response (like Short Answer or Paragraph) is not compatible with this logic flow. ![](https://info.halda.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-50-6157-PM.png?width=488&height=362&name=undefined-Dec-22-2025-07-10-50-6157-PM.png) - [Getting Started](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Start Here](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#start-here) - [Halda Best Practices](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#halda-best-practices) - [AI Campaign Agent](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-campaign-agent?hsLang=en#main-content) - [AI Landing Pages](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-campaign-agent?hsLang=en#ai-landing-pages) - [AI Email Campaign Creation](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-campaign-agent?hsLang=en#ai-email-campaign-creation) - [AI Email Campaign Record Ingestion and Suppression](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-campaign-agent?hsLang=en#ai-email-campaign-record-ingestion-and-suppression) - [AI Email Campaign Management](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-campaign-agent?hsLang=en#ai-email-campaign-management) - [AI Email Campaign Integrations](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-campaign-agent?hsLang=en#ai-email-campaign-integrations) - [Reporting](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-campaign-agent?hsLang=en#reporting) - [AI Website Agent](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-website-agent?hsLang=en#main-content) - [AI Forms](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-website-agent?hsLang=en#ai-forms) - [AI Hub](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-website-agent?hsLang=en#ai-hub) - [AI Search](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-website-agent?hsLang=en#ai-search) - [Direct Integrations](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-website-agent?hsLang=en#direct-integrations) - [Other Integration Options](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/ai-website-agent?hsLang=en#other-integration-options) - [Always On Recruiter Agent](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/always-on-recruiter-agent?hsLang=en#main-content) - [AI Comeback Email](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/always-on-recruiter-agent?hsLang=en#ai-comeback-email) - [AI SMS and Phone](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/always-on-recruiter-agent?hsLang=en#ai-sms-and-phone) - [Integrations](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/always-on-recruiter-agent?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Student Records](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/student-records?hsLang=en) - [Analytics](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Conversion Analytics](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#conversion-analytics) - [Campaign Tracking](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#campaign-tracking) - [AI SEO](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#ai-seo) - [Integrations](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Settings](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [AI Knowledge Base](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/settings?hsLang=en#ai-knowledge-base) - [Notifications](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/settings?hsLang=en#notifications) - [Account Settings](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/settings?hsLang=en#account-settings) - [Script Install](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/settings?hsLang=en#script-install) - [Fields](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/settings?hsLang=en#fields) - [Additional Information](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/additional-information?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [AI Campaign Agent](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#ai-campaign-agent) - [What's New](https://info.halda.ai/knowledge/whats-new?hsLang=en) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.halda.ai/privacy) - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.halda.ai/terms-conditions) - [About Halda](https://www.halda.ai/platform) - [App Login](https://app.heyhalda.com/) [![Halda Logo](https://info.halda.ai/hubfs/Halda%20Logo%20Black%20Tight-2.svg "Halda Logo")](http://Halda.io) [halda.ai](http://halda.ai)  Copyright © 2026, Halda
