A Complex Form Design to Improve the Efficiency and Emotional Experience During Information Entry

Abstract

As a basic common component, forms are ubiquitous in user interfaces. When designing a form page, it appears to be a combination of basic components such as buttons, input boxes, and prompt messages. However, in the actual case, there are countless details that can be deliberated, especially complex forms due to their relatively important function. As the filling process is complicated, some factors such as unclear level and information, or unreasonable interactive feedback, which can greatly reduce the efficiency of information input and cause a very frustrating experience. In order to solve these problems, this article studies the design strategies of complex forms from the perspective of information entry efficiency and emotional experience. First, we disassemble the complex form into basic elements and propose how to choose the appropriate form type and layout. Then we proposed some help and guidance to avoid making users encounter difficulties. Finally, we shared some interactive feedback strategies and some design details.
