Multi Line Mode Element

Sometimes you need to add a repeatable element to your form in order to collect data. You are not sure of how many rows of data the user will want to fill in and you want to allow him/her to enter as many rows as they wish. This is where the Multi Line Mode element comes in.
The multiline element is an advanced feature that consists of a repeatable row of data. It is a feature that most users don't use, but to those who are interested in using it we offer a detailed "how to" explanation about it.
Join us in the "FormLogix How To" blog and find out a multi line mode element is and how to add it to your form.

What is post submit url?

When you create a form you often want it to redirect to another web page once it is submitted. This operation is called "post submit url".

Using the FormLogix form builder you can easily add this feature to your forms. you can redirect a form to another form you created in the system or simply redirect it to a url of your choice. Many users find it useful and customer oriented to create a thank you page in their website. In this page they usually thank the user for filling in the form, provide some information about the company, links to selected pages and they expected response time.
Using the "post submit url" you can easily redirect your form to this kind of thank you page.

What is an online RSVP?

An RSVP according to wikipedia is defined as: a"Répondez s'il vous plaît", a French phrase that translates to "please respond" and word for word means "respond if you please". It is with this meaning that invitation cards and similar documents are often marked with "R.S.V.P." It is standard practice to reply to an RSVP request whether confirming attendance or declining.

Online invitations are used to announce the event and collect information regarding the attendees of the event. it is a very effective tool to invite people and find out if they are planning on attending.
Creating an online RSVP invitation form may be very simple if you are using a form builder. by dragging and dropping the elements and designing the layout you can quickly build an online web form that invites and collects information.

Assisting our users - form assistance and payment integration

We have just issued a new version in which we focus on providing the best client service to our users (via form assistance) as well as enabling them to provide better service to their customers (via form integration).

Form Assistance
We decided to help all you form creators and guide you through a better, more effective form creation process. Our FormLogix team will provide feedback and tips on how to design the form (alignments, backgrounds etc), how to match the elements and content (for example choosing a more suitable element for the information you wish to collect) and how to technically define form features (such as defining field captions, mandatory fields, tab index etc ).

Form Integration
We added a new feature in which a form owner can integrate a payment process in his/her form and allow users to securely purchase his/her product.
The payments may be carried out by 4 different entities: Paypal, Swreg, Google checkout and Moneybookers.

Tiny Version - Google Maps and more

We just uploaded a tiny version which consists of the following:
1- Google Maps - we now enable our users to export data to "Google Maps" and see the geographic origin of each data entry.
2- An option to delete field template has been added to allow users to clear unnecessary templates in their list.
3- Export filtered data bug fix – there was a bug in which data that was filtered could not be exported to excel. This bug has been completely fixed. In addition, admin fields (such as: entry date, rowed, ip, remarks) did not appear in the filter’s field listbox - this was fixed as well.

Use Email Change or Mailing List?

There are two ways to control the email form alerts sent whenever data is entered in the form. The first is Mailing list and the second is account email change:
The mailing list option allows informing other emails recipients of new data entries but leaves all control of the account in your hands. Email change option moves all the account forms under a new email address. The proprietor of the new email address will become the new account owner.

Once you set up an account in FormLogix (registration is free) all data entered in the account forms will automatically be sent to the account owner.
Since sometimes users wish to have other people informed when data is entered in their email form - a "mailing list" option (in the “form settings”) was created. This option sends a copy of the entered data to a valid email address in addition to the data sent automatically to the form owner.
Even though a copy of the data is sent to others the control over the account email forms design and data management is still in the exclusive hands of the account owner only.

If one combines this option with the “Disable Emails” feature (under form settings as well) the account owner can choose to stop all emails sent to himself altogether and have only the copy sent to mailing list recipients defined in the “mailing list”. This option is only a conscious choice not to get emails – the control over the account is still in the account owner’s hands.
The email sent to "mailing list" recepients may be customized by using the "custome user email" option.

The “Email change” (in the user preferences) is the option used when you wish to have the forms sent by default to a new email address altogether, by transferring the entire account under this new email address and making the new owner of this account the only one who can access the forms, design them and edit the data. Since this option moves the entire account to a different email it does not suite those who wish to send one form’s data to a different recipient, or to those who still want to have the control over their forms and data.

Publish email form for Google sites

A new method to publish an email form has been added in October 11, 2008- Google sites.
Till now we have been offering the option to embed an email form in a website or blog but it was not suited for those who are using google sites. This new addition is specially made for google site users - so enjoy!
