# Data Types

Elements have an ***Item type*** and a ***Data type.*** The data type available is dependent on the item type that you choose. For the example below, these are the current data types that are available for the **Data Entry** form item:

Since there are a lot of data types and some of them quite complicated, they have their own dedicated pages. They will be contained under this page.
