 Capturing field data includes recording some information about surveyed points, lines, polygons or non-spatial features by filling in attributes form. This section will guide you through various settings of attributes forms for spatial and non-spatial layers.

-- setting [constraints](../constraints/) to define valid inputs for the attributes

+Each layer has its own form. By default, the form is automatically generated, contains all the fields and these fields have a default type of data input. This means that even without a special configuration, you are able to fill in the form with valid input values. These default options can be changed to fit the needs of your field survey. You can define the type of data input for each field by choosing a <QGISHelp ver="latest" link="user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#attributes-form-properties" text=" QGIS widget" />. See our [widget gallery](../form-widgets/) for a quick overview of available widgets.

 ## Setting up form widgets
 
 Attributes forms can be configured using <QGISHelp ver="latest" link="user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#edit-widgets" text="QGIS widget types" /> in the **Attributes Form** tab in the **Layer Properties**. Note that the widget has to be compatible with the field data type. 
 
 Each data type has a default widget: for instance, text fields use *Text edit* widget by default and are filled in by manually typing the value, while date fields use *Date/Time* widget and the value is selected using a calendar pop-up.
