SmartSimple’s Web Forms

Web Forms are used by SmartSimple system administrators to gather information from their community. Uses include surveys, quality control forms, registration forms, scored assessments, reference check forms, and entry forms for contests.

In addition to walking you through the benefits and uses of web forms, our training video introduces a new, more exciting format. Check it out yourself:



Getting Started 

Click Applications then select the Web Forms menu. Under the New Form tab, fill in the fields to create your new form such as name, category and who in your SmartSimple community can access it. You can also check Allow Anonymous to specify whether or not a completed form will be associated with a user.

Adding Questions 

Once you have your new web form saved, you can add questions for the user to answer. Click the New Question button in the Form Questions page and set question type to Text Box – Single Line Response. Fill in the appropriate fields. Remember, different question types gather different sorts of information.

Distribution & Review 

To distribute your web form link, click Edit button next to your new form and then Options. The form URLs are available on this page for you to distribute to your users. You can also create an email broadcast.

Once a user has completed a form, you’ll be able to review the results. Simply click the Edit button next to your web form, then the Results tab.

Who Uses Web Forms?
