A Typeform glossary

Hey there! This list covers some of the terms you may come across while using Typeform. We’ve also provided links to relevant help center material, so you can start creating as quickly as possible.  

Create panel - The Create panel is where you can create and edit your typeform’s questions, jazz up your typeform’s design, set up any necessary Logic, and change a few additional settings.

Hidden Fields - Hidden Fields, which are a feature in Logic, are values relating to respondent information, like name or email, that you can preload in your typeform’s URL without your respondent needing to enter them. The typeform can display these values when opened, and the values will also appear in your typeform’s results. Learn more about Hidden Fields here

Layout - Use Layout options to position an image or GIF to a question in your typeform. Layout options are shown in the Question tab of the Create panel. You can select to have different layouts for mobile and desktop devices.

Logic and branching - In Typeform, Logic refers to the creation of rules that show your respondents different follow-up questions or outcomes based on how they have answered previous questions in the typeform. You can set up Logic in the Logic tab of the Create panel.

Use Branching and calculations within Logic to show respondents only the questions that are most relevant to them. You can also set up variables or Hidden Fields using Logic.  

Logic Map - The Logic Map lives in the Logic tab of the Create panel. It’s a visual aid showing the paths of any logic you’ve set up for the typeform. This is the Logic Map for a typeform with branching set up at several points:

Typeform/typeform - “typeform”, spelled with a lowercase t, refers to the beautiful, functional forms you’ll create with the platform Typeform, spelled with an uppercase T. 

Variables - Variables, which are a feature in Logic, are numeric or textual elements whose value can be changed throughout a typeform based on a respondent’s answers. They are particularly useful for jobs like calculating price totals or creating short text that refers to previous answers. Read more about variables here

Welcome Screen - A Welcome Screen is the initial screen that your respondents will see when they start a typeform. Learn more about Welcome Screens here

Workspace - Workspaces function similarly to computer desktops: they display your typeforms for easy access, and you’ll see the Workspace each time you log into your Typeform account. You can organize typeforms in different workspaces, and depending on your account plan, you may be able to share workspaces with others. Read more about workspaces here
