The Table Notification format has been improved with a new, modern style. Multiple choice questions now display answer choices as bullet lists. Matrix and Multi-Scale items now display separate rows for each sub-question. Combined, these Table improvements make answers for complex questions much easier to read.

Row colors alternate for each item. Multiple rows for a single item share the same color. Required questions are denoted with a red star.

All of these improvements help to make the Table email format look great in a wide variety of email programs. You can get started using the Table format for your emails at the Form -> Notifications page.

We have added the ability to jump right into an instant demo of Formsite.com with just the push of a button.

Formsite has some advanced options that you can use to display an image as your form’s submit button.

First, you will need an image to use. Upload an image on your account’s “Account -> Files & Images” page. Then, copy the URL to where the image has been stored in your account. Keep this URL for later.

Next, edit your form and go to the Look & Feel page. On the Look & Feel page, go to the Advanced tab. The Advanced tab allows you to directly edit your form’s CSS. Find the section for “.submit_button”, this CSS class controls your form’s submit button. Replace this entire section with the following:

.outside_container .submit_button {
background: url(/example/images/big-button.png);
border: none;
padding: 0;
height: 150px;
width: 150px;
}

Set the background to be the URL to your image. Set the height and width to match your image’s size. Then, save the Look & Feel page.

Lastly, go to your form’s “Form -> Custom Text -> Custom Text” page. Find the “Submit” label for the submit button and replace it with a single space. This will remove the label text from the button so that it will not obscure the image.

Formsite has a new Reports feature. It allows you to share your form’s results with your users. This can be very useful. Reports can be viewed in two formats: Table format and Chart format.

Table Report Format

Table format shows your form’s results as a table. There is one row per result. The user can sort the table and resize the columns. You can optionally allow users to edit results from the table. All form data is available in the table. This includes: Order Form totals, Scoring totals, Form Login information, etc.

Chart Report Format

Chart format shows your form’s results as charts. There is one chart per form item. Users can select which item to view. The chart can be toggled to a pie chart or bar chart.

Security

In cases where security is required, you can also add a password or restrict what data is included by using Views and Filters. You can create multiple reports with different settings and give them to different sets of users.

We have added a new mobile-friendly presentation option. You will see this by default after logging in on a smartphone or other mobile device.

The mobile-friendly presentation gives a more concise view of your forms on the Home page. The Publish page has also been updated to make it easier to get links to your forms as well as share them on Facebook and Twitter. Updates on the Summary Table allow you to easily and quickly view your results on a small-screened device.

In addition to offering a more streamlined experience, the new mobile presentation also helps pages load faster and conserve mobile data usage. If you would like, you can also still get back to the regular “desktop” view at any time.
