Creating Forms for the First Time: 

Start with reCAPTCHA - This is Important!

If you want one or more team members to receive an email with the submission details of a form, you must set up reCAPTCHA. Click here to learn how to set up "reCAPTCHA." Once reCAPTCHA is set up, you are ready to add forms and receive responses from visitors.

Creating a New Form

There are two ways you can create a new form on your website.

  1. You can create a form in the Form Collection first and then add it to a page or multiple pages.
  2. Or you can edit a page and add (create) a new form to the page.

Form Collection - Adding, Editing, and Managing Forms:

In the dark gray Admin menu on the left side of the screen, the Forms Collection lets you create or edit forms. Click the blue "Add Form" button in the upper right corner to add a new form.

You will also see forms already created, the last responses, and the number of responses each form currently has. The buttons allow you to "View Responses" that have been submitted, "Analyze Responses" that have been submitted, "Edit" a form, and, using the dropdown button, "Duplicate" a form or even "Delete" a form (and its data).

Add a Form While Editing a page.

To add a form to a page, edit the page to which you want to add the form.

  1. Navigate to the page where you want to add an image and click the Edit link at the top. 
  2. Click where you want the image inserted in the page's content.
  3. The Add Block icon will show directly to the left of where your cursor is blinking. Press this button.

  4. You can add an existing form or create and add a new form.

Existing Form

Existing Form: A popup will appear with a drop-down menu. Click the drop-down to see a list of all the existing forms, and select one.

Adding a New Form

Start by adding a title to your form that will help administrators and contributors identify what the form is for in the "Form Title" box.

Next, add fields to the form by clicking the green "Add Field" plus sign. 

 

The image here shows some of the available form fields. You can use any of these fields for your new form. Once you add a field, you will see it in the preview pane. When you have added all the fields you want and labeled them, select the "Settings" tab in the upper right corner.

 

 

 

 

Settings

Here, you can set the users who should get notifications. You can choose one or more specific users to receive an email notifying them about each form submission.

When the form is filled out, and a visitor clicks the Submit button, you can have the form give an on-screen Thank-you message or send them to a special page of your choosing.

The on-screen message can be edited here.

The special page can be set up by selecting the "Redirect to page" option and pasting the address for the specific special page.

All form submissions will also go to the forms database; you can always check form submissions there. (Forms -> View Responses).

Finish

To save your form, click the blue "Save" button near the bottom of the page. If you are also editing a page, click the blue "Publish" button near the upper right side of the screen.
