I’d like users to be able to focus on one or two questions at a time instead of being presented with a long, overwhelming form.
I know this can be achieved in the Form View with the premium plan, but it would be great to have similar functionality within the Application Builder. This would allow me to style the form to match my application while still controlling how many questions appear at once. Ideally, I’d also like the flexibility to display multiple questions on a single step when needed.
Hello @Iokaar,
With Application Builder, it is 100% possible to generate a customized “form” with the options you mention by choosing the questions you want to display and creating different pages.
You can check out the elements here: Form element in Baserow Application Builder
There is no conditional logic yet, but it is on the roadmap: Add support for advanced formulas (#3164) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab (example of use: Variable text in the application depending on search results )
Do you need help with anything specific?
I understand that element customization is already available and have implemented it. My question is whether it will eventually be possible to create a quiz-style form within the application builder. Please see the example below for reference.
Form created with Fillout, which I would use, but there is no integration available, and it costs money to use Zapier or Make for webhooks.
I don’t understand what you mean. I’ll try to answer your question in parts:
Yes, it is currently possible to create a quiz‑style form in the application builder.
In your example you can see different Elements (texts, images, required fields, option selectors). All of those are present in the Application Builder and you can configure each page according to your needs.
You can control which questions you want to include by using the various Elements available. For example, add a Forms element, inside it add a Text Input, and set the question in the Label configuration. Then configure the Form element so that it records the data in the assigned Table.
With the explanation above you can also achieve this. You can create a form that contains one Text Input or several on the different pages you create within your Application.
The only limitation is logical conditionals, i.e., if the user selects A, then show B and hide C.
Review the documentation on the different Elements for the Application Builder:
https://baserow.io/user-docs/application-builder-form-element
Once you understand these elements, check the Element Events (how elements register data in the Table you choose):
https://baserow.io/user-docs/element-events
When you have those clear, you can dive deeper into Data Sources (advanced filtering and data handling):
https://baserow.io/user-docs/data-source
If you are looking for a direct conversion of your table into a quiz‑style form in the Application Builder, you should post in the appropriate place:
https://community.baserow.io/c/feature-ideas/9
There you can suggest new features. Although the View Survey Form feature is already available (for Premium and Advanced users) and, although it is limited (style, customization, filtering, and more), it is the “quick” and “direct” version mentioned at the beginning of this message (Elements in the Application Builder). However, you could suggest that it be configurable in terms of number of questions, spaces, etc. But this should be done in the corresponding section.
Hi, have a look at one of the newest templates: Compliance Assessment Builder .
It shows how to set up a survey with the application builder. In this case it is for compliance assessments, but you can use it with any case. The most important point to make it work if that each record in the Assessment questions table has an Order field filled in.
