One-page forms

Show a short form on a single page instead of one question at a time.

Tactile editorial artwork for Forms Layout

A three-question form doesn't need three screens.

Everything at once.

Where to set it

Open a form's edit page and find Layout beside the form's Type. The two choices are One question at a time, which every form uses until you change it, and All questions on one page. The choice saves as soon as you click it, and existing forms stay one at a time until you switch them.

What the patient sees

On one page, the welcome screen with its Start button is skipped. The patient lands on the form's headline and description with every question below, and one Submit button at the end. Grouped screens have no effect here because everything is already together.

  • Submitting checks every question at once. Any problems show under their questions, and in a full-page form the first one is focused. Inside an embed it is not focused, so the host page doesn't jump.
  • A form that requires a signature keeps it as its own last screen. The button reads Continue to sign instead of Submit, and Back from the signature returns to the page.
  • Saved progress works the same way.

It suits short forms, and it pairs well with a contact form or an embedded form. A long intake is usually still easier to answer one screen at a time.

Try it in your own practice.
