When you click Build URL (or New record) and fill in your campaign details, you are working in the builder. It has three fill modes: Quick (one record, fastest), Form (one record, with a computed preview), and Grid (a spreadsheet for many rows). All three edit the same submission, so switching never changes your data.
You switch between modes from the Quick / Form / Grid toggle in the builder header. Quick and Form are single-record modes. Grid is for entering many rows at once. This page explains what each mode is for and when to reach for it.

​
At a glance

No mode is “better.” They suit different workflows. Quick is the fastest way to enter a single record. Form is best when you want to watch a deep computed chain build as you type. Grid is what you want when you have twenty rows and a spreadsheet open in the other tab.

​
Quick mode

Quick is where Build URL and New record start you, unless you last picked another mode (see Switching modes). It is a compact, single-record form: each field stacked, with dropdowns rendered as option pills you tap or click. It is the fastest path for entering one campaign and works well on a narrow or touch screen. Computed fields still show their derived values as you fill in their sources. Reach for Quick when you are entering a single record and want minimal chrome between you and the fields.

​
Form mode

Form is also single-record, but laid out as a vertical form with the computed fields collected into their own sticky Computed panel. As you fill in the user-entered fields on one side, the panel shows the live values of every computed field (in the Campaign URL Builder example: utm_campaign, tagged_url, short_url, and the qr_code image) updating as you type. That panel is the reason to choose Form. When a computed chain runs several levels deep, watching it recompute in real time makes it obvious where the chain broke if something looks wrong. Fields that cannot compute yet (because a source is still blank) stay empty rather than showing noise.

​
Grid mode

Grid is a spreadsheet. Columns are the taxonomy’s fields, rows are the records in the submission. It supports the things you expect from a grid:
  • Paste from a spreadsheet. Copy a block of cells from Excel or Sheets and paste into the grid. Columns map by position and extra rows are appended automatically. See Bulk entry in grid mode for the full paste workflow.
  • Import and export CSV. Import CSV in the builder toolbar replaces the grid’s rows with a CSV file (it asks first); Export CSV downloads them.
  • Add, duplicate, and delete rows. Click Add row in the toolbar, or right-click a row. Deleting a row removes it from the submission; the submission itself is untouched.
  • Generate combinations. Right-click a cell and choose Generate combinations to add one row for every combination of the dropdown values you pick.
  • Drag to reorder rows.
  • Fill handle and multi-row selection, for editing many cells at once.
Computed fields appear in Grid as read-only columns and update live as their source cells change, the same as in the other modes. Click Computed in the toolbar to show or hide them.

​
How many rows one submission can hold

Grid mode is available on every plan. What your plan sets is how many rows one submission can turn into records. The limit is checked when you create the records or submit for review, not while you type, so an oversized batch still saves as a draft. The builder then tells you the limit; remove rows (or split them into another submission) and try again. For the current limits, see Plans and limits.

​
Switching modes

You switch modes from the toggle in the builder header. The rule that governs availability is simple:
  • A submission with one row can use any of the three modes.
  • A submission with two or more rows can only use Grid. Quick and Form cannot show more than one record, so the toggle disables them and the builder stays in Grid.
So when a submission gets a second row, the builder moves you to Grid automatically. Whenever a submission is back down to a single row, you are free to switch to Quick or Form again. The builder remembers the mode you last picked with the toggle and opens in it next time, including when you start from Build URL, New record, or Clone. It remembers per person and per browser, and the choice survives signing out. Only a click on the toggle counts: the automatic move to Grid for a multi-row submission is not remembered, and a submission with two or more rows still opens in Grid. Until you pick a mode, the builder opens in the mode shown in At a glance.
Switching modes never changes the submission’s data. Whatever you entered in one mode is there in the others. The modes are just different views of the same rows.
