This page describes the unique editing functionality of the Custom Form asset.

You can use these screens to configure the general settings and content of the Custom Form.

Details Screen

Customised Content

This section allows you to customise the default layout of your Custom Form.

• Customise Form Page: specify whether or not to customise the initial layout of the Custom Form where the user fills out the questions.
• Customise Confirmation Page: specify whether or not to customise the layout of the Custom Form's Confirmation page.
• Customise Thank You Page: specify whether or not to customise the layout of the Custom Form's Thank You page, displayed once the user has submitted the form.
• Use Confirmation Page: specify whether or not the Custom Form will display a Confirmation page. This will allow the user to ensure they have correctly completed the form before submitting it. The confirmation page can be used for both a single and multiple page Custom Form.

Formatting

This section allows you to customise the formatting of the buttons on the Custom Form.

The following fields are available:

• Reset Button Text: enter the text to be used for the reset button, for example Revert. If no test is entered into this field, the default value of Reset will be used.
• Submit Button Text: enter the text to be used for the submit button, for example Send or Apply. If no test is entered into this field, the default value of Submit will be used.
• Next Page Button Text: enter the text to be used for the next page button, for example Continue. This button replaces the Submit keyword on all but the last page of the Custom Form. By default, the text that appears on this button is Next Page.
• Previous Page Button Text: enter the text to be used for the previous page button, for example Back. By default, the text that appears on this button is Previous Page.

Multiple Page Options

This section allows you to modify the Custom Form to contain multiple pages and customise the multiple page features.

In the Multiple Page field, select whether or not to use multiple pages on the Custom Form. If you select Yes, then each section of your Custom Form will become a separate page. Any questions that have not been created under a section will appear at the beginning of the form.

Logging

This section allows you to enable and disable the logging of submissions on the Custom Form.

In the Log Submissions field, specify whether or not form submissions will be logged to Squiz Matrix. By default, this field is enabled, meaning form submissions will be logged. If this field is disabled, the details of a form submission will not be logged within the system and you  will  not  be able to view it later.

Submissions logged to Squiz Matrix can be exported using the Export Submission Logs tool. For more information, refer to the Export Submission Logs section below.

Submissions

This section allows you to set a limit on the number of submissions allowed on the Custom Form.

• Submission Limit: enter the number submissions that will be allowed to be logged on the Custom Form asset. For example, if this field is set to 5, once five submissions have been logged on the Custom Form, no more submissions will be able to be made. If this value is set to 0 it means that the option is disabled and that no limit has been applied to the Custom Form submissions.
  
  If a set submission limit is exhausted, an error message will be displayed to users who attempt to complete the form.
• Limit Reached Error Text: enter the error message that will be displayed to users if the set submission limit is exhausted while they are completing the Custom Form.

Export Submission Logs

This section allows you to export the submission logs to either a CSV file or XML format.

• Date Range: select a date range for the submissions you want to export. For example, if you only want to export the submissions that have been made today, enter today's date in both sets of fields.
• Format: select the format for the exported file. You can choose from the following options:
  • Comma Separated Values (CSV): this option exports the submissions as comma separated values, and includes a header row showing the title of each question. You can change the delimiter that is used by changing the value in the Delimiter field.
  • Comma Separated Values (CSV) – no header row: this option exports the submissions as comma separated values, with no header row. You can change the delimiter that is used by changing the value in the Delimiter field.
  • XML Format: this option exports the submissions in XML format.
• Download: click this button to begin the export of the selected submissions and download the file that is created. You will be prompted to choose whether to open the file or save it.

Contents Screen

The Contents screen is used to add to and edit the content of the Custom Form. Please note that the options on this screen are similar to those on the Form Contents screen of a Custom Form in the backend. For more information, refer to the Form Contents chapter in the Custom Form manual.

Form Fields

The Form Fields tab allows you to add sections and questions (form fields) to your form.

Sections

Sections allow you to group similar questions together for a Custom Form. For example, if you have a group of questions for the users contact details you can group them under a section called Contact Details.

If you are creating a form with multiple pages, each section of the form will be presented as a new page.

To add a section to the Custom Form, click the Insert Form Section button, enter a name for the new section, and click Insert.

The new section will be displayed, as shown in the figure below, which you can now add form fields to. Once you have finished configuring your section, click Save to save the section on your form.

You can rearrange the order of the sections you have created on the form by clicking the Re-Order Sections button. A pop-up will be displayed, allowing you to drag and drop your sections into the desired order.

To delete a section, click the Delete Section button, shown in the figure to the right. The section will be highlighted red, meaning that it has been marked for deletion. Click Save to delete the section.;

Form Fields

Questions, or form fields, can be added either directly to the form, or within a section that has been created on the form.

To add a form field to you form, click the Insert Form Field button, select the field type you want to add, and click Insert.

The field types that are available on the Custom Form are:

• Text
• Number Input
• Email
• Selection List
• Checkboxes
• Radio Buttons
• Date and Time
• Country
• File Upload

Once a form field has been added on the form, as shown in the figure below, you can give your field a name, specify a default value and configure its settings.

By default, your form field will be given a name like 'New Form Field #1'. You can set the name of your question in this field, for example, 'Name' or 'How did you hear about us?'.

The Add a field note field allows you to add a note to your form field to provide further information to your users on answering the specified question. So for example, if you had a form field asking for a user's name, the field note on this field might read 'Please include both your first and  last  names'.

You can set the default value of your field in the form field box. Please note that if your field requires you to set selection options, such as with the Selection List, Checkboxes and Radio Buttons form fields, this field will not initially contain any values to set. You will need to specify values by configuring the settings of these fields before setting the default value.

To configure the settings of your form, hover over the form field and click the Edit Question Settings button, shown in the figure to the right. A pop-up will appear detailing a list of settings for the form field. These settings will differ depending on the field type that is being configured. For more information on configuring the settings of the  different  form  types available, refer to the question chapters in the Custom Form manual. Once you have finished configuring the settings of the form field, click Update.

The Clone Question button allows you to clone the current question, while the Delete Question button allows you to mark the form field for deletion. Clicking Save will delete any form fields that have been marked for deletion.

You can rearrange the order of the questions you have created on the form using the Reorder button, shown in the figure to the right. This button allows you to drag and drop your questions into the desired order. Questions can also be dragged and dropped from one section to another. Click Save to commit this change to your form.

You can change the field type of an existing form field by clicking the Change Field Type button. A pop-up will appear with a list of available field types. Select the field type you want to change your form field to, and click Update. Click Save to commit this change to your form.

Please note that some editing actions, such as changing the field type of a section and moving questions between sections, will result in a different asset ID for the form fields that are being changed.

The Form Page tab allows you to customise the initial layout of the Custom Form where the user fills out their responses.
