Forms

With forms, you can easily create and manage contact forms, surveys, and other forms for your church website. You can customize the forms and view the responses via the admin panel. We have added two collections for this purpose: Forms and Form Responses. In this article, you will learn how to create and manage forms.

Creating your first form

Through the admin panel, you can easily create your first form. Click on Forms in the menu and then on Create new. You can now create and configure the fields of the form. You can choose from different field types, such as text fields, dropdowns, and date fields. You can also specify whether a field is required or not.

Add fields to your form

Then you can start drafting the questions for your form. You can add, remove, and edit questions. You can also change the order of the questions. The changes are saved automatically, and when you are done, you can publish the form. It is also useful to use the preview mode so you can see how the form will look to the visitors of your website.

At this moment, you can add the following field types:

Text field
Number field
Date field

You can also place rich text between the fields, for example to provide an explanation.

Form settings

Under the Settings tab, you can adjust the settings of the form. Among other things:

The title of the submit button

Adding and viewing submissions

Submissions can be viewed in two ways:

Via the form in the admin panel, under the Responses tab
Via the Form Responses collection in the menu

Both routes also allow you to manually add a response, if necessary. For example, you can add a response that you received by phone and immediately link it to the correct user.
