Setting up a Feedback Form

Here's how you can create a simple form for data which will be sent to an email address and saved in a database. Create Name, Email and Feedback fields for the form.

1. Click on the column where you want to create the form.

2. Select Form in the New menu.

3. Create fields for the form using the field palette on the left. In this example, we will use three text fields and one text area.

4. Double-click on a field title and type in a name for each of the fields: Name, Email and Feedback.

5. The Form Template menu may contain multiple template options if the various forms on the site have multiple uses. You will now create a simple form, so just pick a basic template from the list. In this example, the name of the form is "Basic Form".

6. Save the changes.

7. Next, you will create a Thank You page for the form: select first the Feedback page so that the Thank You page will be created under that. Create the page by clicking on the add button (+) of the Pages header.

8. Name the page 'Thank You'.

9. Go back to the Feedback page and click on the form element that was created earlier.

10. In the Thank You page section, click on the link select button and select the Thank You page that was created above.

11. Save the changes.

You have now created a simple form on the page. In the paragraphs below, we will explain how you can save the information entered into the form in a database or have it sent to an email address.

You must always specify these parameters: otherwise, the information in the form cannot be saved in a database or sent to an email address.
