Features

Start with a simple form. Keep going when the work gets more complicated.

Chimera Forms brings form building, logic, scheduling, collaboration, response management, analytics, and sharing into one place without making every form feel complicated.

01

Visual block builder

Drag blocks into place and build against a live preview. Use everyday fields, survey questions, scheduling tools, files, signatures, images, icons, callouts, spacers, Groups, Sections, Rows, Columns, and multiple pages without writing code.

  • Searchable block library with Favorites and Recently Used
  • Reusable blocks, Groups, and Sections in My Library
  • Repeating Groups for things like attendees or household members
  • Responsive desktop, tablet, and mobile preview
  • Draft, Preview, and Publish workflow
02

Design controls that make sense

Change colors, spacing, typography, borders, widths, alignment, and other common design choices with normal controls instead of hunting through CSS.

  • Form-wide styling
  • Block-level styling
  • Responsive spacing and sizing controls
  • Customizable submit button
  • Light and dark application themes
03

Advanced CSS when you want it

If you do want deeper control, Chimera includes a real CSS editor with autocomplete, selector help, full-screen editing, and stable ways to target individual parts of a form.

  • Per-block targeting
  • Helpful selector references
  • Scoped custom styling
  • Advanced states and effects for developers
04

Display logic, formulas, and page branching

Show or hide questions based on earlier answers, calculated totals, or formulas. Multi-page forms can also send people past pages they do not need, while keeping required questions from getting in the way when they were never shown.

  • Match all rules or any rule
  • Use answers or calculated values in conditions
  • Send respondents to the next relevant page
  • Keep skipped questions out of the way
  • Use the same logic across simple and advanced forms
Date and scheduling

Scheduling that understands real programs.

Offer dates by weekday, season, lead time, blackout dates, special availability, and time zone. Show a calendar or a short list such as the next five Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Recurring seasons can repeat every year, including seasons that cross New Year. When a program is out of season, you can show a helpful message or choose whether to show dates from the next season.

05

Quotas, capacity, and waitlists

Set limits for a whole form, a question, a choice, a date, or a condition. When something fills, Chimera can close the form, hide or disable a choice, show a message, or move people to a waitlist.

  • Tour and workshop capacity
  • Choice and session limits
  • Shared capacity across related options
  • Conditional counting
  • Automatic full-state handling
06

Hosted pages, website embeds, and QR codes

Share a polished hosted form with your own branding, generate a QR code for print, or place the form directly on another website.

  • Logo or banner
  • Intro and footer content
  • Colors, width, alignment, and theme controls
  • Custom CSS when you want it
  • Controls for where website embeds are allowed
07

Response management and exports

Review submissions with the wording and structure people actually saw. Chimera can distinguish a question that was left blank from one that was hidden or skipped, which makes the response record easier to understand later.

  • Clear response details
  • Visited and skipped page information
  • Excel, CSV, and TSV exports
  • JSON and NDJSON for technical workflows
  • Historical form context kept with older responses
08

Collaboration, folders, and ownership

Invite other people to work on a form without giving everyone the same level of access. Organize owned and shared forms in your own folders, favorite the ones you use often, and keep old work archived without losing the data.

  • Owner, Editor, Analyst, and Viewer roles
  • Personal folders and favorites
  • Shared forms that stay easy to find
  • Form duplication and templates
  • Ownership transfer when responsibility changes
09

Privacy-conscious analytics

See how people move through a form without turning Chimera into an advertising tracker. Understand views, starts, completions, drop-off, page funnels, and questions that may be slowing people down.

  • Views, starts, completions, and abandonment
  • Time to complete
  • Page and question friction
  • Research summaries and charts
  • Device, source, and campaign information
10

Survey and research tools

Build more than basic intake forms with dedicated question types for structured survey work. Chimera includes Matrix/Likert, Constant Sum, Semantic Differential, Rating/NPS, Slider Scale, Ranking, and Consent blocks.

  • Matrix and Likert questions with scoring options
  • Constant Sum and allocation questions
  • Semantic Differential scales
  • Rating, NPS, and sliders
  • Ranking and explicit consent
Automation
