When adding an online form you will be asked to provide the following information:

  • Name:* Enter a name for the form. Your visitors will be able to identify the form by its name and type. Example: Adoption Application or Foster Application.
  • Form Type:* Select the form type for this new form from the drop-down list:

  • Form Submission Comment: Enter comments about this form that you might want the visitor to your website to read. For instance, if you charge a fee for processing a form, this is a good place to let the visitor know.
  • Default Assignee: You can choose which of your volunteers to assign Submitted Forms to by default for the form. Only contacts that are in the Volunteer group are available in this list for you to select.
  • Alert Email Addresses: You can specify email addresses to which Submitted Forms alerts should be sent.  Multiple addresses can be entered, separated by a comma.  (Any volunteer whose options are set to receive alerts for Submitted Forms will still receive them.) 
  • Reply to Email Address:  You can set an email address that submission emails are sent from and to which a reply is sent. 
  • Contact Fields: Select which built-in contact fields to display and require on your forms.
  • Status:* Select the status of the form -- if it should be enabled and accessible to visitors (this is different from public and private), or if it should be disabled. Take your time and ensure your application is the way you want it, then select to enable the form. If you want to make changes to the form, you can temporarily disable it if you like. You can also enable and disable forms from the list of online forms (Features > Online Forms). You can disable or enable multiple forms at once from that list. See the screenshot below under Deleting an online form.
