Custom fields let you collect valuable information about your contacts. Consent fields help you make your form compliant with [GDPR](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-do-i-get-my-account-ready-for-gdpr.html) and other data protection regulations. Use them when you want contacts to be able to give their consent to your marketing or data processing policies when they sign up. **Before you begin** * To be able to add Consent fields, you first need to create them in your account. It’s not possible to create a Consent field within the form editor. * It’s good to create custom fields before you start working on your form but you can also create a new one as you’re working on the template. 1\. Double-click a field to add it to the form. Repeat this step for all the fields you want to add. The form size will automatically adjust to fit the fields. 2\. Double-click an element to open its **Layout** tab. From there, you can * check the box to make the fields required and edit the prompt text they see when they leave the box unchecked, * edit the placeholder information * add additional instructions for the user as well as the error message, * edit the field formatting. 3\. Switch to the Style tab to change the font design. 4\. Double-click the button to edit text. Double-clicking also opens the **Style** tab for the button, where you can make additional changes to its design. 5\. (Optional) Add static elements, such as dividers, images, text blocks, privacy badges, trust seals, and counters. 6\. To remove any element, move the mouse over it and click the trash can icon on the element box. ### Edit form layout 1\. Click on a form (avoid clicking inside the form fields) to activate the **Layout** tab. This section lets you edit the layout and structure of your form. 2\. In the **Layout** tab, choose a form type: embedded, pop-over, or scroll. 3\. (Optional) Choose display properties such as effect and delay. ### Add links You can turn text in your form or the thank-you page into a **hyperlink**. The link can direct subscribers to your website or landing page. You can also use it to link to your ebooks or other files with their own URLs. 1\. Double-click the text. 2\. Highlight the part of the text you want to turn into a link. 3\. Go to the **Style** tab and scroll down. ![](https://us-wd.gr-cdn.com/help/sites/9/2021/01/1525/link-form-1.png) 4\. In the **Destination** drop-down menu, choose if you want to link to an external **webpage** or a GetResponse **landing page**. * If you choose an external **webpage**, enter its full URL into the **URL** field. This is where you can also enter full paths to any files you want to share, like ebooks. * If you choose a GetResponse **landing page**, open the drop-down menu and select the page you want to use. Note: you can only choose from the landing pages you have already published. 5\. (Optional) Add a title to the link to display when someone moves their mouse over it. ### Finishing setup 1\. To edit the form settings, click “Settings” in the top right corner of the editor. Edit the opt-in settings for the current form, set up a thank-you page, and choose autoresponder settings. 2\.

How do I change the size of my form? ------------------------------------ In the editing screen, open the form and drag the sides vertically or horizontally to change its size. Drag a corner to change both. If the form is too short to add more fields, drag the bottom corner to make it longer. Or use the Item spacing tool in the Layout section to create space between fields.
