Forms

Catalogs

A catalog is a reusable list of options, such as countries, sizes or service types. Select fields in your forms take their choices from a catalog.

Values and labels

Each option in a catalog has a value and a label. The value is what gets stored with the answer. The label is what people see.

Because the value is stored, you can reword or translate a label at any time without affecting answers you already have.
