In the form designer, click + Add visible field, then choose note as the field type.

note: displays text to the user. Note fields do not actually collect any data. They can be used, for example, to confirm entries that have already been made, or to provide additional interviewer instructions. The full text for the note goes into the label column.

If you include a note field with "intro" in its appearance column, that note will appear in the survey form's opening screen, before the first visible form field. If you include a note field with "thankyou" in its appearance column, that note will appear at the very end of your form, after data has been finalized and saved. (Otherwise, the note field will appear in its proper position relative to other fields, based on where you place it in your form definition.)

In the spreadsheet form definition:

type	name	label	appearance
note	fieldname	note text
note	fieldname	note text	intro
note	fieldname	note text	thankyou

Previewing fields and appearances

Click the hyperlinked field type above – or a hyperlinked appearance style, if any – to see a preview of the field or appearance in SurveyCTO Collect.
