Forms Module

This module is designed to give the client the most flexibility in creating forms.  It will allow the forms to be submitted via the website to an email address designated by the client.

Forms Setup

To setup a new form the administrator will need to go to Company > Forms and then click on the “New Form” link.

New Form

Click “New Form” and you will be taken to a screen that asks for the name of the form, the email to send the form and whether or not it should be displayed.  In the creation process you may want to set the display to “NO” until you create the form.

Once you save the form, the system will take you back to the main forms screen where it will display your new form along with the forms that were previously created.  To configure your form, you will need to click on the form.  The system will now allow you to add sections to the form.

Once a section has been created, you can now add the fields that belong to that section.  The forms module allows you to add a textbox, dropdown menu, radio buttons and check boxes.  Click on the section that you want to edit.

Display Form on Website

To display a form on your website, you will need to type in the following values in the address bar. You will use the same URL when hyper-linking to the form .

www.DOMAINNAME.XXX/forms.asp?formid=#

The pound(#) symbol is a variable for form number.  In the case of the screenshot below we would type in 2 to view our new form.
