These apply to page type Survey, where each field has a type, a name and possible values. Responses are sent via e-mail if an address is provided, as well as stored and visualized.
Page types Feedback and Resume use the same form engine, and responses are collected the same way, but those forms can’t be modified.
Some older browsers might not support all field types. Unsupported field types will be shown as single-line text fields instead, so they are still useful.
Also note that numerical ranges can also be negative and are rounded to 5 significant decimals.
