Creating a form - Selecting Marketo field

[Anonymous]

Hi,

We are trying to create a form and are currently experiencing an issue with selecting a marketo field. We can see there are a few options already, where can we add in our own option? E.g. Time of attendance.

Also, how do we add in checkboxes and radio buttons?

Thank you in advance for the help.

Hi!

Have you created the field(s) in the administration?

You can add both checkboxes and radio-buttons, see this documentation article for form fields: Form Fields - Marketo Docs - Product Documentation

Hi Matjaz,

Thank you for your response. Where abouts do I edit this in the administration?

Thanks

Check this: Field Management - Marketo Docs - Product Documentation

It's maybe a good idea to read it through, so you'll know what are the available options.

Hi Kelly,

Before you can add a field to a form, you need to create the field inside your database so that when someone submits the information, there is a place to store the data on the persons' contact record.

Navigate to Admin > Field Management, and click on "New Custom Field" towards the top of the screen. You will have to pick the field type which will determine what type of data can be stored in this field (numerical, string, boolean, etc.), and give the field a name. The system will automatically create an API name which I'd recommend just using what gets generated unless you have specific reasons not to. If you're not familiar with database field types and what to pick for that option, check out the documentation here to learn what each type means and what data can be stored within each type.

Once your field is created, go back to your form and you will be able to pick the new field (note, this might take a minute or two to show up, so wait a few minutes if you don't immediately see it after creating the field).

Hope this helps!
