Form owners occasionally write in asking about error messages displayed in the form builder. These messages include tips or problems and may need some investigation by the form owner. Example messages include:
The end of the year is the perfect time to perform maintenance tasks for your Formsite account. Whether there’s one form or thousands, taking a few minutes to perform backups can prevent future headaches.
Formsite forms appear all over the world to collect information and many form owners need to work in languages other than English. An option to use Google Translate is popular, but there are times when the form needs to display in other languages.
Formstack, a PSG and Silversmith-backed software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that provides a versatile, no-code suite to create and orchestrate workflow with custom forms, documents, and eSignatures, today announced the acquisition of Chicago-based forms provider, Formsite. This acquisition aligns with Formstack's mission to empower users with practical solutions to everyday work problems and bolsters its position as a leader in the data capture and forms market.
Multi-select items like Radio Buttons sometimes need the ability to enter an answer other than those shown. Another possibility is the need for “not applicable” or N/A as an explicit answer to a required question. The other and N/A choices may need follow-up questions or logic to operate as needed.
Formsite’s API lets account users retrieve information about forms and results. With the correct code, form owners have the ability to display data on the form itself. Some API examples for use on the form include:
Artificial Intelligence (commonly known as AI) uses machine learning to automate tasks. Recently services like ChatGPT and Bard emerged to provide access for the public to use these systems. Formsite engineers jumped at the chance to test the new technology and now form owners can, too! Discover the simplicity of incorporating AI into your form-building process.
Formsite forms collect submissions from form visitors and the answers create rows in the Results Table. Each new submission creates a result row and its Status column communicates the progress. Using the result status, form owners can tell if the result is in progress, complete, or if there’s a problem.
Formsite online forms creates web forms that visitors complete through their browsers. The size of the device used can make the display vary and that’s called responsive design. The elements on the page “respond” to the size available. Using the mobile code examples in this article can help make forms, Success Pages, and Notification emails responsive.
Formsite’s Workflow feature gives form owners a way to connect two or more forms and pass data from one to the other. Passing attached files presents some challenges and used to require setup and testing by the form owner. The recent enhancement for Workflow files makes using File Upload and Signature items much easier and more intuitive.
