Kissflow plans:

✓ Basic ✓ Enterprise

We have classified the fields into two primary categories: All fields and AI-suggested fields for your easy understanding. The All fields tab is further organized into sub-categories such as:

Basic fields.
Advanced fields.
File and media.
Data lookup.
Widget.

Navigate to the respective form editor in your flow to access the Fields panel on the left side. Toggle between the All fields and AI-suggested fields tabs to access the field that you would like to use in your flow form. You have to drag and drop a field from this panel onto your form editor to add it. You can also click the empty area in your form section to search for a field and add it instantly quickly.
