You can create as many forms as you need for your organization. Some common forms are Adoption Applications, Foster Applications, and Volunteer Applications.

When you create a form, certain information is can be automatically captured without your having to create questions. This information is captured when a user registers. You have the option of requiring visitors to register to complete any given form, or allowing unregistered visitors to fill out forms. This information can be captured  from the visitor's registration - you select what to capture:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Address, City, State, Zip/Postal Code
  • Home Phone
  • Work Phone
  • Cell Phone
  • Fax
  • Email Address

Your organization's forms will appear to the visitor on their Forms page and on your site menu. If your visitors have registered on your site, any forms they have started will appear on their My Rescue page.

When visitors have not registered on your site and fill out a form, several things happen:

  • Your form will not be displayed as pages, it will be on one page (you can also choose to have your questions on one page)
  • The visitor's contact information will not be captured; therefore, you need to add questions for contact information to your form
  • You won't have the option to automatically add applicants to your Contact list

However, there are some people who object to registering on web sites. The choice is yours.
