  • The Form Field table contains checkboxes that determine whether a particular Field appears on your form. Every form interaction can have a form associated with it, and you can pick and choose which Fields appear on each form. If you hold your mouse over each Letter (I, L, S, F, A, E, V, D) , a tool tip comes up which identifies which form a Field will appear on.
