Create Multi Step Forms In WordPress

Multi-step forms break down lengthy forms into smaller, manageable sections, enhancing user experience by reducing overwhelm. 

They are especially useful in real-life scenarios like job applications, customer surveys, or event registrations, where users may hesitate to fill out a long single-page form. By presenting information step-by-step, you can maintain user engagement and improve completion rates.

In this article, you will learn how to create multi-step forms using SureForms in WordPress.

Let’s get started!

How to Create Multi Step Forms in SureForms

Creating multi-step forms in SureForms is a simple process. To do this:

• Create a new form and start adding the necessary field in the SureForms editor.
• When you have enough fields for one page and want to continue on another, add a “Page Break” block. This will split your form into multiple pages.

Now, fields you add after the page break will automatically appear on the next page of the form.

Customizing Your Multi Step WordPress Forms

SureForms offers options to customize the page break block, allowing you to control how your multi-step forms look and feel for users:

Customizing the Progress Bar In Your Multi Step Forms

In multi-step forms, a progress indicator shows users how far they’ve come and how many steps remain. 

SureForms lets you customize the progress indicator, allowing you to give users a clear visual guide through each stage of the form. To do this:

• Go to Form > General in your SureForms editor and open the “Page Break” dropdown.

• Under “Progress Indicator”, select which progress indicator icon you want to display on your multi step form.

For example, here’s how the progress indicator icon will look on your form if you set it as “Progress Bar” under the above dropdown.

Here’s how it’ll show up if you set it as “Steps”:

If you set it as “None”, the progress indicator won’t show up on your multi step forms at all.

Adding Labels to Your Multi Step Forms

Labels help users know what each page in a multi-step form is for. For example, the labels “Personal Information”, “Education”, and “Qualifications” in the following form are all page labels denoting what each page in a form is for:

To add a label:

• If you want to add a label on the first page, first enable “Show Labels” under Page Break.

• Under “First Page Label’, add the label you want to display for the first page in your multi step form. For example:

Here’s how the label will show up on the first page:

To add labels for the next pages, simply edit the label on the page break block in your editor:

The added label will now show up on the next page.

Editing The Next & Back Buttons On Your Multi Step Forms

These are the buttons that your users will click on to navigate between multiple pages in your form:

To edit the text on these buttons:

• Go to either “Next Button Text” or “Previous Button Text” and add your desired text in these text boxes.

Click the “Save” button in the editor to save these changes.
