Form Widgets is a platform created by Jotform to help you lessen the workload of creating interactive and dynamic forms. It allows you to do things on your forms that you wouldn’t think of as normally possible. It cuts down your work and makes things a lot easier.
Think of it as a way to expand your forms, making them smarter and better than before! You can check our Widget Library of more than 370+ Widgets for your usage. This library gives a much larger, visual, and detailed explanation of all of our Widgets.
So, how do you add a widget to your form? It’s super easy. Let’s start!
- In the Form Builder, click the Add Form Element button.
- Go to the Widgets tab, then search for the widget you’d like to use.
- Click the widget to add. You can also drag and drop it anywhere to your form. For example, the Take Photo widget. Here’s a short GIF of these first three (3) steps.
- As you can see from the GIF above, the form builder opens the widget settings automatically. The behavior is the same for all widgets, but the settings may vary depending on the widget itself. Set up the options, and click the Update Widget button to save the changes.
Each widget also has its Properties where you can set up a few additional options related to the whole widget itself. There, you’ll find the General and Advanced tabs.
To open the Properties, click the Gear icon on the right side of the widget. Please see the below image:
It’s also possible to customize the look and feel of the widget by injecting custom CSS codes into it. Please visit the following guide for more details.

Hy I wanted to use jotform with Hotjar recordings, so I asked you how can I do this.
You suggested to use CLASSIC FORM and embed the source code in my site. So I did, and everything is good, except the widgets in my form. The widgets somehow are not showing up on my site when I implement the source code.
Any suggestion?

I need to resend my form to multiple people. Each time the form goes out, the recipient can choose an item from "inventory". When I try to add new items to the inventory, they add in as already having been chosen. Help.
I am not sure I am reading this right. Are you offering to process payments for less than PayPal does (but we'd still use PayPal) or is it that actually you will now charge for us to link to paypal through jotform if we process more than 10 payments per month with them? we're very happy with jotform - and pay gladly for the service - but the ability to link to paypal to process fees for service seems integral and not an 'add on.' Can you please explain? Happy to discuss.

Hello,
I've added Data Grid to my form under Pay Codes, but I can't figure out how to use it. When I preview the form, it's just a blank yellow box.
The purpose of the widget is to have the user dynamically enter their text values so I can capture them on the backend in a spreadsheet or CSV for import into another app. Your spreadsheet widget wont work because it only accepts numbers. Please advise and thank you for your help.
I want to have a pdf document available to download should someone need more detailed information or for those who need more guidance. Where do I put the pdf form so that it can be accessed. Does it go somewhere in Jotform, or does it need to be on a server somewhere with a URL access. Your guidance is appreciated.
Is there a way to change the color of the animated header?
How do I enforce the theme design onto a widget? I cannot change it's look and feel in the design tab.
photos not showing on image slider - possible too lg? What size pix is recommended?
Hi, I am using Visual Multi Select. How can I add a header so that I know what it relates to when I print out the form? (Like it does for other standard sections).
Then how do I add the responses to the auto email once the form has been filled out?
Finally, unfortunately it only prints the responses in one line, separated by a comma. Can the responses be listed on separate lines?
Thanks, Brendan
