Adding a form to a page
To add a form to a page you must use a template with a form component in it. If a page can have a form inserted it will have a blue block where the form will go with ‘Form Component’ written on it.
If you need to change the template currently being used, right click on the page name in the left column and select ‘properties’. You will then be able to select a new template from the drop down list.
Right click on the blue ‘Form Component’ block and select Properties... You can then set specific details for this form:
-
Form
Select the correct form from the drop down box. The names here are the same as the names in the left column of the form editor. -
Post to URL (Advanced option)
This is used when the data submitted is to go directly to another page rather than the data be sent via email. This can be left blank in most cases, if you are unsure then do not use this option. -
Email submissions
This is where you enter the email address(es) where you want the form data to be sent to when it is submitted. You can enter multiple addresses by separating them with a comma e.g. joebloggs@mywebsite.com, suesmith@yourwebsite.com. -
Email subject
This is the subject that will be used when the results are sent to the specified email address(es) -
Success text
When the form is successfully submitted the form will disappear from the page and be replaced by the text entered here. It can be formatted using the toolbar options above the text box. -
Send button label
This is the text that will appear on your button at the bottom of the form. -
Send button width
This sets the width of the button at the bottom of the form. -
Send button centred?
if this option is ticked the button will automatically be centred beneath the form. -
Send button indent
If the send button is not centred you can set the width of the indent from the left here. -
On success page
When the form is submitted, the default option is to reload the same page minus the form with the ‘success text’ in it’s place, however you can choose to redirect the user to a different page instead, for example to allow them to download a document once they have supplied their details. Click the browse button to locate the next page.
