Adding an online form

Where do I find it?

You can find the Add an Online Form page by going to Features > Online Forms and clicking the Add an Online Form button.

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

  • Form Name:* Enter a name for the form. Your visitors will be able to identify the form by its name and type. Example: Adoption Application
  • Form Type:* Select the form type for this new form.
  • Is this a public form:* You can choose if you want the form to be public or private. Public forms can be submitted  by anyone who registers on your web site. Private forms are not available to your visitors unless you email them a link to the form. The form will not appear in the list of forms on the My Rescue web page.
  • Allow multiple submissions by one user:* Should a single visitor be able to submit this form more than once?  Keep in mind that a visitor can still register multiple user names and still submit the form multiple times.
  • Allow unregistered users to submit this form:* Should your visitors be required to register and log in before they can submit this form, or should an unregistered user be able to submit the form?  If you select Yes, all of your form questions will be presented on one page for the user to complete.
  • Display all questions on one page: You can choose if you want your entire form to be displayed on one web page or split up by pages? (Even if set to 'No', a visitor must be logged in to view the form on separate pages)
  • Submission fee: If you have added items to your Online Store, you can select one of them to be a Form Fee (application fee) for this form. The user will be directed to the selected Online Store item when they submit the form. You should also add a sentence in the Form Comment so that the visitor knows they must pay an application fee.
  • Form submission comment: The Form Submission Comment is the text that is emailed to the user when they submit the form.
  • 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 to select in this list.
  • 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.) Click to learn more about Form Submission Alerts
  • Reply to Email Address:  You can set an email address that submission emails are sent from and replied to.
  • 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 the public, or if it should be disabled.

When you have entered the required information, click Save Online Form.
