Creating your first online form

This guide will walk you through the creation of your first online form, and include lots of information about creating any additional forms you need.

Learning about data tables 

The information in your account is arranged in data tables.

Data tables are simply tables with columns and rows of information. They allow you to manipulate the information in the table, arranging it in a coherent and meaningful way for your purposes.  Much of the information collected and managed by the Data Management Service relies on data tables. We'll help you understand how to use the data you collect.

With data tables you can:

• Quickly sort by headings
• Change your view (change to one of the other built-in views)
• Create custom views (change the fields and field order)
• Share your custom view
• Export your view to a spreadsheet
• Add filters to your data table views

All data tables have the same look and feel. Most data tables have the same controls, buttons, and options.

Some common data tables are:

• Animals > Animals List
• Contacts > Contacts List

Your online forms will be listed in a data table. With it, you can run reports about those forms.
