Step 1: Let's Plan a Simple Form

To start, we will plan a simple feedback form for your web site. Let's suppose we have the following requirements:

 

  • The form should have fields for name, email and comments/feedback.
  • There should be validations to check the validity and the size of the input.
  • The submitted form data should be sent to an email address (say, myforms@mycompany.com)

 

'Create a new blank form'

Start Simfatic Forms.

Click on the 'Create New Form' button.

create new blank form

The other options in the first page are for creating form from a template and to read out a form from an existing web page.

When you press on the 'Create a new blank form' button, the wizard screen opens. In this screen, you can see the steps to the left side and the pages in the right side. (See The General Layout of the Wizard)

 

General form properties

In the general form properties page, you need to provide the basic information of the form. ( See General Form Properties Page for more info. )

 

General Form Properties

  • Provide a name 'feedbackform' in the Form name field.
  • Press the 'Next' button

 

In the next step, we will add the input elements to the form.
