*If you choose this option, make sure you make changes to the name, subject line, thank you text, and questions.

FORM CONTROLS

1. Name – The title of your lesson. For convenience and ease, title it similar or identical to the life lesson page.
2. Subject – Type ‘Life lesson: subject or title of lesson’

8. Form tags: “life lesson”

FIELDS

This is where you add the study questions and contact information questions for the life lesson.

Lesson questions

You can add as many questions as you need to. Generally, we don’t like to add more than 10 for the readers sake. For lesson questions:

1. Field Type – Select ‘large text area’
2. Field Name – Type in the question (when you save it, it will input underscores instead of spaces but just ignore that). Remember to add the number of the question (ie. 1, 2, etc.)
3. Field Value – leave blank
4. Field Label – Again, type in the question with the number in front. Be careful of the length. Some questions may need to be shortened to fit in this field.
5. Required Data – leave blank
6. Error Message – leave blank
7. Help Text – leave blank unless you would like to add more thoughts to the question.

Contact information

After you have added all of the questions, you will need to add some other necessary contact questions.
