| Form Designer | Home |
Use the Form Designer program to create the form. If you have a paper form which you'd rather not change, you may scan it directly into the Designer. If the form is already in another electronic medium, you should be able to extract the image of the form into a bitmap file and import it directly into the Designer. If you are starting from scratch, the Designer has a drop-and-drag tool set which enables you to do so.
You can design a Returnable Form 10 times faster than its HTML equivalent because --
- There is no coding -- not even when adding buttons to perform custom functions.
- Returnable Forms build and populate their own databases automatically, based on the fields in the form. No time is spent writing form-to-database code.
- Returnable Forms have total print integrity, so no time is spent adjusting web pages for printing.
- In case of multi-page forms, such as employment applications, page transitions are automatic, and all page information is kept inside the client.
Once you have made the layout, use the Designer's data-entry tool set to place check boxes, drop-down boxes, and edit boxes into the blank areas. You may also enter the address of your FTP site [If you have a web site, you have an FTP site.], to which users can automatically return the completed forms when they are finished with them.
Once the document is completed, you save it in two forms: a design (*.dsgn) document, which can be edited, and a returnable form (*.rtn), where the layout is fixed.
