Online forms are really a collection of questions you ask a visitor to your website who is interested in something from your organization. For instance, if you are an adoption agency, you'll certainly want an adoption application so that those interested in adopting one of your rescued animals can give you some answers before you interview them. And, you'll be able to keep this form in your database for future reference. Maybe you're a feral cat trap-neuter-vaccinate-return organization. You will want a form for visitors in the community to request your help, as well as one for people who want barn cats.
Forms help you to collect answers and keep the information in a usable, easily accessible form.
When you create a form, you collect the questions into what in the past would have been a hard-copy form clipped to a clipboard. Now people can simply go online and fill out the form. And your volunteers can do the same when they review the forms or do an interview.
With the Online Forms service, your volunteers, such as an adoption coordinator, can review a form and add comments, and volunteers can change the status of the submitted forms to reflect where they are in the process. Volunteers can get email alerts when a form is completed and submitted.
