# How To Use File Upload Custom Field in Forms and Surveys

This tutorial will show you how to create the file upload custom field, and how it can be used within both forms and surveys.

**Step 1: Adding the File Upload Custom Field to Your Form or Survey**

* Navigate to the form builder.
* You’ll see Standard Fields and Custom Fields in the menu on the right.
  * Standard Fields are commonly used, default fields in the system, such as name, email, and phone.
  * Custom Fields are those you’ve created specifically for your business needs. (To create a custom field go to settings and click “custom fields”)
* Click **Custom Fields**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://software-help-docs.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-guide/forms/how-to-use-file-upload-custom-field-in-forms-and-surveys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
