# Form

> Use a Form view to collect submissions and save each response as a new record in the current table.

Form views are generated from the current table. Each submission creates a new record in the table where the form view was created. Use forms to collect feedback, registrations, reimbursement requests, customer details, and other structured data.

| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Hide fields       | Click the hide button on a field, or drag the field to the hidden area on the left  |
| Add fields        | Drag a field from the left sidebar, or click `+ Add field to this table`            |
| Rename field      | Click a field and rename it. The name shown on the form updates with the field name |
| Field description | Add a field description to explain what the submitter should enter                  |

## Form Appearance

Form appearance supports a cover image, logo, and submit button text. The cover area uses a fixed height, so avoid placing important text or key information in an image that may be cropped.

## Share the Form

After configuring the form, click **Share form** in the top-right corner of the table, copy the form link, and send it to submitters. You can also click preview to open the public form page in your browser.
