Building a form

Forms for anything that isn't an entry: templates, question types, conditions, calculations, multi-page forms and sharing.

Forms is for anything that is not an entry to an event: a membership application, a consent form, a kit order, a feedback survey. Press + New form and start from a template or a blank form.

The templates are a contact form, feedback survey, volunteer sign-up, membership application, merchandise or kit order, consent or permission form, newsletter sign-up and general enquiry.

Build

• Questions can be short or long text, email, phone, number, date, a choice from a list, several tick boxes, a single tick box, or a rating scale.
• Add a text block for instructions, and page breaks to split a long form into steps.
• A calculated value works something out from other answers, such as a kit order's total.
• Conditions show a question only when an earlier answer says so - a guardian's details only when the person is under 18, say.
• Any question can be required.

Design, Settings and Share

• Design sets the accent colour, heading font and button style.
• Settings has the confirmation message shown on screen, the confirmation email, a closing date, a maximum number of responses, and Email me a copy of responses to have each one sent to you.
• Share has the form's link once it is published.
