Nodes and components
Forms lets you add nodes and components, such as fields, blocks, and widgets for your users to interact with the form. You can then reference the data input, from components, in your forms and flows.
Form nodes
There are five types of form nodes: Start, Step, Flow, Router and Ending screen. These nodes have a very specific purpose for the structure of the form.
Step node
Step nodes are the visual representation of the form. They can contain any number of components, such as fields, blocks, and widgets where the user can fill in their data.
Field components
Fields are UI components where users input their information in Forms.
Field settings
Fields have a number of default settings that you can configure to meet your requirements.
The default field settings are:

Blocks components
Blocks are UI components that add functionality to your forms but do not gather user information.
Available blocks in Forms
The available blocks are:
A button that lets users continue to the next form node.
Before continuing, field validation rules are applied and validated on the client-side and server-side. If field validation rules fail, an error message is displayed for the user to verify.
If the next node is a flow node, a spinner loader is displayed until the flow completes. If the flow fails or returns a custom error message, an error message is displayed.
A button that lets users go to the previous step node.
If a user selects the previous button, field validation rules are re-run again even if no change to input data is done before continuing.
A button that lets users skip the current step and directly jumps to the destination node.
When skipping the current step, we won't validate and neither collect any filled out information of the current step.

Router node
Router nodes let you add rules to create conditional logic jumps between nodes.
By default, a router node has a single pass-through rule named Default Case that connects to other nodes. You can add additional rules based on a set of conditions that a variable must meet to then connect to other nodes. To learn more, read Router.
Flow node
Flow nodes let you add and create custom logic and integration flows to your forms. To learn more, read Flows.
Start node
Start nodes are not visible to the user. It is where you can configure hidden field variables, such as user attributes when rendering a form with an Action.
Ending screen node
Every form has an Ending screen node. By default this node resumes the authentication flow and this is where you can configure an After submission flow.
