## [#](#1-add-a-form-macro-to-a-page-assign-a-name-and-id)1\. Add a form macro to a page, assign a name and ID

Add a form macro to enclose your fields in, so that they can be validated before being saved. This ensures that all the input data is properly checked for correctness and completeness, preventing any invalid or incomplete information from being submitted and stored.

Input macros are the fields that let you ask for information from users in a structured and interactive way.

These fields are designed to collect specific data by prompting users to provide the required details, making it easier to gather accurate and relevant information.
