2. In the left-hand menu, navigate to “Components” and select “Fields”

3. Click on “Create a new field” on the top right corner of the page

4. Select the field type and enter the details:

   1. Field type: select a field type; go to What is a field on a form? for more information

   2. System name: type in the name of your field; for example, if you would like to ask “What is the misconduct category?”, you may enter “Misconduct category” as the system name; this is not shown on the forms

   3. Label used in form: type in the question you would like to ask; for example, you may write “What is the misconduct category?”; this is how the users will see the field when filling it in
