# How to add fields to a form

## Overview

To create a form in the Form Builder, you'll need to add **form fields**. A form field is a specific component of a form that allows users to input or select data. FastField offers a wide variety of [form field types](/fastfield/docs/field-type-overview) that allow you to collect any type of data you need.

## How to add fields to your form

1. Go to the FastField [Form Builder](/fastfield/docs/accessing-the-online-form-builder).
2. In the Form Builder, select your desired field from the **Add Fields** menu on the left. ![Add Fields menu in the FastField Form Builder](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/15391998777229?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-30T01%3A35%3A59Z&se=2026-10-30T02%3A35%3A59Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=C0NpD9yvMVvDPsWPnskSQlEXoMJkjxvw83LGjE9mL4A%3D)
3. The field will then appear on your form in the center of the screen.
4. You can now **rearrange** and **configure** your fields. ![Field added to form with rearrange and configure options](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/15392064034317?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-30T01%3A35%3A59Z&se=2026-10-30T02%3A35%3A59Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=C0NpD9yvMVvDPsWPnskSQlEXoMJkjxvw83LGjE9mL4A%3D)
  - Rearrange the order of your fields by dragging and dropping them on your form.
  - Configure a field's properties by selecting it and using the field's settings menu on the right.
5. Make sure to save your changes by select the **Save** button.

Repeat these steps to add as many fields as you need to your FastField form.
