Tips for Optimizing Your Forms for Interactive Mode

• Instead of starting with a question or consent form, use the Form Intro feature to show your clients a welcome message before they begin filling out your form.
• In the Interactive Mode, the Section Title block type will be placed on its own page. In the classic long form mode, section titles are useful to break questions down into groups, but in the interactive mode, they become less necessary. When converting a form to the interactive mode, pay close attention to the section titles and ask yourself if they are still necessary.
