About Forms
Created by Bruce Fallen in 5/15/2009 11:45:55 AM

In WordFusion, you can either fill out existing Forms or create your own Forms  in Design Studio. 

Forms

Forms help users enter and submit information in a consistent, systematic way. This in turn reduces the likelihood of data-entry errors and improves the overall process of gathering similar information from different users.

Among other things, a Form determines:

  • The controls, labels, and instructional text that appear on the form.
  • The way controls behave when users interact with them. For example, in a text box, you might prevent users from typing more than 50 characters.
  • The fonts, colors, and other design elements used in the form.
  • Whether users are notified when they make mistakes in the form or forget to fill out a field.


Once you've finalized the design of a Form, you can make it available to others by saving it as an .fxml file.


When users fill out a Form, the data from that form is saved in the WordFusion database and can be exported to a file that can be loaded by other WordFusion users. Depending on the Form's design, you may be able to do the following when filling out a Form:

  • Format text you enter into the form.
  • Insert lists that have the exact amount of rows or entries you want.
  • Review and fix errors in the form.
  • Save Forms to your computer and work offline.
