How to edit a form?

Steps to edit a form that has already been created.

Written by Jessica Franco

You can edit a form at any time from the DataScope web platform.

Step by step

  1. Go to the Forms tab.

  2. Find the form you want to edit.

  3. Click Configure.

  4. Select Configure Form.

This will open the Form Builder.


Form Builder

Inside the builder, you will see several tabs at the top:

  • Form Builder

  • Integrations

  • Signature

  • Email

  • PDF

From here, you can configure your entire form in one place.


1. Form Builder

Here you can edit the main content of your form:

  • Create, edit, or delete questions

  • Reorder questions and sections

  • Define the question type (text, date, list, photo, etc.)

  • Configure advanced options for each question (conditional logic, validations, etc.)


2. Integrations

Connect your form with other tools, such as Google Sheets and other available integrations.


3. Signature

Configure the use of electronic signatures within the form.


4. Email

Configure automatic result notifications:

  • Sender name

  • Email content

  • Sending the generated PDF


5. PDF

In this section, you can configure how the PDF document with the form responses is generated.

There are two types of PDF:

  • 📄 Standard PDF: This is the default format in DataScope.

📌 This format has a fixed structure and does not allow you to change the order or hide questions.

  • 🧩 Custom PDF: Allows you to fully design the PDF format according to your needs.

📌 This type of PDF is built from scratch and gives you complete control over the design.
⚠️ Available on paid plans.

📌 The PDF is automatically generated every time a form is submitted.


Other available actions

From each form's menu, you can also:

  • Move to folder

  • Lock editing

  • Share

  • Enable scrolling in the app

  • Duplicate

  • Activate or deactivate


Important

  • Changes must be saved manually using the Save button.

  • You can test the form using the Answer button.

  • You need the appropriate permissions to edit forms.

  • If the form already has responses, avoid making major structural changes.
