Design Forms in ClickUp
Customizing a Form’s design in ClickUp helps you collect information in a way that matches your brand, improves clarity for respondents, and streamlines internal workflows.
This guide walks you through every available Form design option so you can control layout, colors, logos, themes, and advanced settings from start to finish.
Access your ClickUp Form settings
To start customizing the design of a Form, open it from the location where it is saved.
- Open the relevant Space, Folder, or List.
- Locate the Form view you want to edit.
- Click the name of the Form to open the Form editor.
- Select the Design panel to access all visual settings.
All styling controls for your ClickUp Form are grouped here, so you can preview each change in real time.
Choose a ClickUp Form layout
Layout defines how questions appear to people filling out your Form. You can adjust how fields are arranged to improve readability and completion rates.
Layout options in ClickUp Forms
- Single-column layout
Shows one question or field per row for a simple, linear experience. - Multi-column layout
Places compatible fields side by side to reduce scrolling and create a compact design.
Use a single-column layout for complex questionnaires and a multi-column layout when you want a shorter, more visual Form experience.
Apply a ClickUp Form theme
Themes provide a quick way to change the overall look of your Form. In the Design panel, you can select a theme that best reflects your brand or project style.
Theme customization options
- Prebuilt themes
Choose from ready-made color combinations for fast setup. - Custom theme
Manually pick primary and accent colors to align with your brand guidelines.
Adjust the theme until your ClickUp Form visually aligns with the rest of your customer-facing or internal materials.
Customize colors in ClickUp Forms
You can fine-tune individual color settings to ensure your Form is both attractive and accessible.
Key color settings
- Background color
Set an overall page background color to match your website or campaign. - Primary button color
Control the color of action buttons, such as Submit. - Text color
Ensure headings and body text are readable with clear contrast. - Field border or accent colors
Highlight inputs and key sections with subtle visual cues.
Use strong contrast between text and background so your ClickUp Form is easy to read on any device.
Add logos and branding to your ClickUp Form
Branding your Form helps respondents recognize who is requesting information and increases trust.
Upload and position your logo
- In the Design panel, locate the Logo or Branding section.
- Upload your logo file from your computer.
- Choose the alignment, such as left, center, or right.
- Adjust the size if options are available.
A clearly displayed logo keeps your ClickUp Form consistent with your organization’s official communications.
Configure header and description text
The header and description are often the first things people see. Use them to explain what your ClickUp Form is for and what respondents can expect.
Header best practices
- Use a short, descriptive title.
- Write in plain language so the purpose is immediately clear.
- Match the language style with your brand voice.
Description best practices
- Briefly explain why you are collecting information.
- Call out any important requirements, such as required fields.
- Include an estimated completion time if the Form is long.
Clear header and description text reduce confusion and can increase completion rates for your ClickUp Form.
Control field styles in ClickUp Forms
Field styling makes your Form easier to scan and complete. In the Design panel, you can adjust the appearance of form inputs.
Field styling options
- Field labels
Control font size or emphasis so labels stand out from responses. - Placeholders
Use example text to show the expected format of answers. - Required field indicators
Highlight mandatory questions with visual indicators, such as asterisks. - Spacing between fields
Add or reduce spacing so the Form looks balanced and uncluttered.
Consistent field styling gives every ClickUp Form a professional look and helps people move through questions quickly.
Preview and test your ClickUp Form
Always preview design changes before sharing your Form with others.
- Click the Preview option in the Form editor.
- Review how the Form appears on desktop and mobile screens.
- Test submitting a response to confirm all fields work as expected.
