# Format of the text fields of the forms

With **TuCalendi flows**, creating forms with the information you want to request from your customers when they book an appointment with you is much **more flexible and faster**. In addition, we have added a new feature that allows you to specify **the formatting of the text fields you add to the form**.

Let's see how you can include formatting in the text fields of your forms.

[Log in to TuCalendi](https://account.tucalendi.com/) with your username and password. In the side menu, click on **"Flows"**:

In the **"Forms"** option, click on **"Select"**.

If you have not yet created a form flow, you can [create a form flow from scratch](https://www.tucalendi.com/en/s/flows/how-to-create-flows-for-forms):

Or, on a form flow you have previously created:

Click **"Edit"** to modify the form flow, adding new fields to the flow or deleting the fields you want.

## Text type

In this type of field, customers will be able to type **text, letters or numbers**, without any specific formatting.

## Number type

By selecting the **number type**, customers will only be able to enter **numbers in the format you have chosen**.
