3 Things You Might Have Overlooked in Gravity Forms

In this video, Matt highlights three helpful but often overlooked features that can improve your form-building workflow.

First, he reminds users about predefined choices available for drop-down and multiple-choice fields. When editing a field’s choices, you can select from ready-made lists—such as countries, U.S. states, job titles, and months of the year—to save time. Additionally, the bulk import option allows you to quickly paste in your own list of choices from a text editor, further speeding up form creation.

Next, Matt covers the compact view feature inside the form editor. For users managing larger or more complex forms, compact view provides more screen real estate, allowing easier navigation, field arrangement, and overall editing efficiency. It’s a small but valuable adjustment that can make working with big forms smoother and less cluttered.

Finally, he focuses on the Orbital theme for styling forms directly within the WordPress block editor. With Orbital, users can easily customize form elements—such as button colors, fonts, and background colors—without leaving the editor. This built-in flexibility allows for consistent branding and a polished look without additional CSS or design tools.

Matt concludes by encouraging users to explore these features and make the most of what Gravity Forms offers. Whether it’s simplifying setup with predefined choices, improving workflow with compact view, or enhancing design with the Orbital theme, these small details can significantly improve productivity and user experience.
