Fields

Fields are the building blocks of your Award Force setup. They collect information about entries, users, attachments, contributors, and referees. Award Force provides a wide range of field types you can use to collect exactly the information you need from entrants. Many field types include additional configuration options, such as file size limits or minimum and maximum word counts.

For a full list of field types and their configuration options, see the Field types overview.
