There are 3 Form Styles:

1. Inline - This form shows on page by replacing the form link you have inserted.
2. Modal – This form doesn't show until the form link is clicked.
3. Floating – This form appears on bottom right of the page. This form can be closed. Clicking on the form link opens it again on lower right corner.
