Contensive Enhancement Spotlight

Contensive now allows admins to create their own forms. With the form wizard you can easily create your own multi-page or single page forms and have the posted information save into your database.

The form wizard can be found in the "Tools" section of your navigator under "wizards".  The first page of the wizard asks that you enter the name of your new form or select from an existing form to edit.  Once completed you click the continue button.

The next screen is where you select or create the "form pages" for your form.  If you are editing an existing form you can select the page you want to change or if this is a new form click the "add" button to create a new form page. On the new form page screen you need to name the page (for your reference in the future) and add your form elements using the "Form Editor" tool. When you have finished creating your form click the continue button.

The next screen allows you to assign an action to the button on your screen such as submit, cancel or back.  Once you have assigned the action to your button click "continue".

The next screen is the form resu lt storage screen.  here you decide to what to do with the information gathered in your form.  You can read the page descriptions to determine which scenario works best for your situation.  For example you can choose "update User".  If chosen, when the form is completed, the data entered will be saved to the visitor's People record. If your website is configured to allow 'recognized' users and the visitor was recognized as a People record that contains a username, the visitor will be required to log-in, or logout to continue. See Security Settings on the Admin Navigator for details.

Once selected uo hit continue and you are taken back to the "form pages" page where you will see the page you just created.  You can either add an additional page if needed or click continue.

Continue, takes you to the thank you page for the form which users will see once the complete the form. When you have finished setting up your thank you page click continue to go to the "actions to take" page.

Here you can choose to add the user to a group, send a notification email, and /or send the user a response email.  When you have finished your selections click continue to go to the finished screen. All the information about your form has been collected.

Here you can click the Finish button to complete the setup, making your form ready to use. To use your form, edit a page, and use the 'Tag' menu to select the 'Dynamic Form' add-on. When dropped on the page, double click it and select the form to display.
