What you will get
Forms is a feature that allows you to collect data on site and get feedback from your users. It is a communication tool that makes it easy for you to engage users in your platform with forms that are relevant to your business. You choose who the forms are available to and build them yourself of the fields you need.
What to do
Here are the steps to follow when creating a form:
- Click Collab in the main menu and navigate to Forms. You’ll be sent to a page with a list of your forms, if you have any.
- Click the New button in the upper right corner of the page which will send you to the first step of the form creation process:
- Give your form a name, which is required.
- Now choose one or more teams who have access and whose members can see, use and share the form. If you want everyone to have access, you can just add the default team in Napp® called Public – which makes it public!
- If you’re ready for the next steps, click Save
Adding details to the form
- On the next page, you’ll see a bunch of new fields and options. You can edit your form’s name if you weren’t satisfied with it in the first step.
- Next to the name field you can choose whether your form should be Published or not by using the toggle button. Published means the form is live.
- Add a description to your form which briefly instructs or describes what the form is for and when/how to use it. It’s optional, and will be shown on the form itself so you can also just leave it blank.
- Notify emails is where you can enter who will be notified when the form has gotten a response by adding their email.
- Teams who have access is also from the previous step, you can still either add more or remove teams, but you have to fill in at least one team such as Public.
- Write a confirmation message, which is the text that appears when a person has filled in the form, for example “Thank you for filling in our form!” This is optional.
- If you’re ready for the next steps, click check Save
Adding fields to the form
- Now you’re ready to start adding fields. Click the plus Add field button to the right of the to the Form fields headline. Once your form has been used just once, you won’t be able to edit the form fields again.
- You’ll see some new options in the Create Field pop-up. Start by giving your field a Label, for example “E-mail address” or “Customer name.”
- Choose the type of field you need – see the table at the bottom of the next page to learn about the different types.
- Select whether the field should be required or not, which means it has to be filled out, by answering Yes or No in the Required dropdown.
- You can also add a header image to the form, but it’s completely optional. The image will be shown at the very top of the form itself when someone opens it. If you’re unsure of how your form looks, you can click the eye Preview button in the top right corner of the page.
- When you’re all done, scroll back up to the top to click check Save. Remember if you want the form to be live, you need to toggle the Published button next to the name to either Yes or No.
Seeing the responses to your form
You can only see the responses for your form if it actully has any responses:
- Again, navigate to Forms under Collab in the main menu.
- In the list of forms, find the form you’ve just created. You can either Search for it or sort the table by clicking the Date created column title.
- From the list view, you can see responses of a form by either:
- Clicking the dark blue number with the card icon in the responses column
- Clicking the three-dots button to the far right in the table to get a dropdown where you’ll find the options Responses, Preview and Delete.
- Clicking the dark blue title of a form, which will send you to the edit page for the form. At the top of the page you’ll find the Responses button.
