      How do I build a form & add it to a page?

      There are two steps to add a form to a page:-

      1. Create a form
      2. Add the form to the desired page

       Step One: Create a Form

      • Go to Modules > Forms
      • Click ‘Create Form’
      • Add Title
      • Create
      form 1
      • The new form will appear in your list of forms. Click Edit.
      • It’s now time to build the form. You can choose from the field items on the left.
      form 2
      • Each field has the following options:
        • Required Tick Box: To be ticked if the field is mandatory for the user to complete
        • Title: Title of the field (i.e Name, email address, contact number etc)
        • Validation: Ensures the user provides the necessary information in the required format

      • Email Recipients: Email address of person within the property who receives the form/enquiry 
      • Email sender: This will always be noreply@netaffinity.com
      • Reply to field: Same email address as Email Recipients
      • Email Subject: The subject of the email you receive when a form is submitted
      • Success URL: The page the user is directed to once they submit the form
      • Send Success Email: Email sent to user once they submit the form
      • Submit Button Text: The wording on the Submit Button i.e Submit; Send; Submit Now etc

      form 5

      Ensure that all changes are saved.

       Step Two: Add Form to Page

      • Once saved, return to the Forms page.
      • Every form has a unique code (generated from it’s title). This code needs to be taken and put into the formula [form code=FORMCODE] in order for the form to display on the front end. 

       

      EXAMPLE:

      form 6
      • In the above example, the code for the Contact Us form is contactus
      • Go to the Main Content t tab of the page the form needs to be added
      • Enter [form code=contactus]
      form 7
      • Save changes

      An alternative way to add a form

      • Click the form icon
      • Choose the form from the dropdown
      • Save changes
      form 8

      Always view the live page to ensure the form is displaying correctly.
