Settings

Once the form in creating you can go to the Settings tab, and do the following:

Standard settings

  • Form name: The name of the form

  • Group: If you are about to create a lot of forms, putting them into groups makes it easier for you to find them later.

  • Template name: The name of the template which the form will use (read more about this under Designing the Form)

  • Max fields to display: You can choose to display X amount of form fields/questions at a time. That means that the first time a person fills out the form, x no. of questions will be asked. The 2nd time if the same person comes back and fills out another form; the form will recognize the person and since we already know the answer to the first x questions, the form will display other questions instead.

  • Hide known fields: If you have ticked above, you can choose to hide the questions that you already know the answer to.

  • Replace form-tag with div-tag: This checkbox is mandatory to check if you are using SiteCore, EpiServer or other CMS installations where the CMS is built up by form-tags. Checking this checkbox will make the form appear correct once published.


Language

  • Selected language = the language of the form that you chose when you created it.

  • Additional translations = if you want the same form in multiple languages (instead of creating a new one), you can add a new language in this setting. Once you have done this, the form will be prepared for the new language.


Reset Settings

  • Standard: Default message “Not you?” shown when the same person fills the form more than once.

  • Custom Label: Enter a customized message that is shown when the same person fills in the form more than once.


Form Submit settings

  • Action after submit = choose what will happen after a person submits a form (mandatory to choose an option for the form to work)

  • Message = Enter a customized message that is shown after the form submission

  • Redirect = Enter the URL of the landing page to which the person is redirected to after form submission.

  • Track - View/Submit Form = if you want to track the statistics of the form views/submission in Google Analytics and/or Google Tag Manager, check the preferred box and apply the needed settings.

  • This is public access form: Enable this checkbox to prevent the form from saving user data locally.
