I have completed work on the online form system. If you’re curious, this allows you to add a number of questions to a form page that allows people to submit answers. Common uses for forms such as these include recruiting forms, contact us forms, online registration for your team or league, etc. It is marked as Beta because I haven’t been able to test it thoroughly, and some extra features need to be finished.   In any case, it has a great deal of features that are ready to go, and I welcome you to add them to your site - if you find any issues, please let me know.

After creating a form, you can specify the introduction, as well as what user’s see when they successfully complete a form. When users successfully complete a form, they and the owners and administrators of your site will be emailed a copy of the form for your records. The excitement doesn’t stop there though. Along with an email, all the form data gets saved to your administration panel, allowing you to view all the submissions at once. Along with viewing, you can edit any submission’s data in place, and export your data to a CSV file, which you can view and manipulate in your favorite spreadsheet program, such as Excel. This is another area where more features will be added. Some upcoming features will include sorting your submissions, running reports and searching your submissions. You can create unlimited forms, arrange them in the order you want in your main menu, and activate and deactivate old forms.

The deactivation feature is something that will be useful if you wish to save your form data. For instance, you may have a fall registration each year. After the year is over, you can deactivate the fall registration and create a new fall registration (we have a handy form copy feature that will copy all form inputs from an old form to a new form, saving you time). All the data for the old fall registration will be saved for future access. If you don’t need it anymore, you can also completely delete the form and all its data. be careful about this though, as your data cannot be recovered once it is deleted. In order to delete a form, you will need to first deactivate it. It will then show up in the deactivated forms list, where you are able to delete it.

We hope you find this feature useful, and again, if you find any bugs please let me know. Some unrelated features I am currently working on include more privacy features, email notification when you have new user associations, and an online store.
