Forms that make an entrance
Give a form an entrance: fade, slide, drop or bubble-pop into view as a visitor scrolls to it. Fields that show and hide get the same seventeen animations.
Forms can now make an entrance. Pick an animation and the whole form arrives with it as a visitor scrolls down to it: it fades in, slides up, drops in or pops like a bubble. The fields inside a form got the same set of animations for when they show and hide.
Give a form an entrance
- Open the form in Data > Forms and go to the Settings tab.
- Choose an Entrance animation.
- Set the Speed, or leave it on Default to use the animation's own timing.
- Click Preview to watch it on a sample, then Save.
That's it. The form plays its entrance once, when it first scrolls into view. On a multi-step form it plays as the form arrives, not again on every step. Choose None to have it simply appear.
Seventeen ways in
The same list works for the whole form and for single fields:
- Gentle: Fade, Slide (open and close), Scale, Blur
- From a side: Slide up, Slide down, Slide in from right, Slide in from left
- With some bounce: Zoom, Bubble pop, Bounce, Drop in, Elastic
- With a turn: Flip, Rotate, Swing, Unfold
Fields that show and hide
A field can appear or disappear depending on another answer: show "Company name" only to people who tick "I'm a business", say. Click the field's ⚡ (logic) button, and in the Visibility section pick a Transition from the same list, with a Speed and a Preview. Instead of a field blinking into place, it slides or pops in where the visitor will notice it.
Kind to everyone
Some people find movement on screen uncomfortable. Every form and field animation is skipped for a visitor whose device asks for reduced motion: the form is simply there.
