# Creating a Multi-Page Form

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a multi-page form using Umbraco Forms. Multi-page forms are particularly useful when you need to collect detailed information from users in a structured and user-friendly way.

Multi-page forms are ideal for use cases such as event registration, job applications, booking a meeting, and so on.

## Prerequisites

- [Umbraco CMS Installation](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/setup/install)
- [Umbraco Forms Package](../installation/install.md)
- Pre-built Website including a **Document Type** with the **Form Picker** Data Type.

## Log in to the Umbraco Backoffice

1. Log in to the Umbraco backoffice.
2. Go to the **Forms** section.

## Create a New Form

1. Click **+** next to the Forms folder.
2. Select **New Form**.

3. Enter a **Name** for the form. For example: *Book a Meeting*.
4. Click **Save**.

## Set up the First Page of the Form

Let us begin by adding some fields to the first page of the form. By default, the **Data Consent** field is already available, and we will call this group **Data Consent**.

To create a new group:

1. Click **Add new group**.
2. **Enter the Name** of the group. For example: *Personal Information*.
3. Click **Add question**.
4. Select **Short answer** as the field type.
5. **Enter a Name** for the field type. For example, *First Name*.
6. Select **Text** as the **Field Type** from the drop-down list.
7. Mark the field as **Mandatory**.
8. Click **Submit**.
9. Click **Save**.

Similarly, you can also add other relevant fields such as last name or email based on your requirements.

For this tutorial, the following fields are added with the respective specifications:

| Field Name | Data Type | Field Type |
|---------------|--------------|------------|
| Surname | Short answer | text |
| Age | Short answer | number |
| Country | Short answer | text |
| Phone number | Short answer | tel |
| Email address | Short answer | email |

If you wish to reorder your fields, click **Reorder**.

4. Select **Short answer** as the field type.
5. **Enter a Name** for the field type. For example, *Company Name*.

To add conditions, follow these steps:

2. Select **Single choice** as the field type.
3. **Enter a Name** for the field type. For example, *Do you work with Umbraco*.
4. Enter the **Value** and **Caption** in the **Options** field.

For this tutorial, the following values are added:
- Yes
- No

6. Click **Submit**.
7. Click **Save**.
8. Repeat steps 1-4 to create a conditional question titled: *If yes, how many years?*
9. Enter the **Value** and **Caption** in the **Options** field.

For this tutorial, the following values are added:
- 1-5 years
- 5-10 years
- 10+ years

2. Click **+** next to the parent page of the website.
3. Select the Document Type.

![Pick a Document Type](images/pick-document-type.png)

## Customize Form Settings

If you wish to customize the Form Settings, see the [Form Settings](../editor/creating-a-form/form-settings.md) article.

## Rendering the Form on the Frontend

For Umbraco Forms to work correctly, you need to include some client dependencies. For more information, see the [Preparing Your Frontend](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-forms/developer/prepping-frontend) article.

To render the Form on the frontend, see the [Rendering Forms](../developer/rendering-forms.md) article.

## Testing the Form

1. Go to the **Info** workspace view of the *Book a Meeting!* page.
2. Click on the Published link in the **Links** section.
3. Fill out the form to see how it functions.
4. Submit the form to ensure it redirects to a Thank You page.
