Forms
Overview
You can create a form with your favourite forms tool,
like Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, etc.,
or Appazur Forms, and sent it as a Message.
Appazur™ Forms
With Appazur Forms, your users will already be signed in when they open the message
in the app, so they won't need to sign in or enter their name into the form.
Appazur Forms are a simple, lightweight solution that is fast and responsive in your
app to make it quick and easy for users to submit responses.
Appazur Forms can also be sent to staff, students, or parents via email and SMS with a short URL,
and you can use a QR code to make the form available to anyone,
even school office visitors or teachers on call.
Add a Form
- From the Dashboard Home page, in the Content section, click Advanced, then Forms.
- Click Add Form.
- Give the form a title (not visible to users, just for you to keep track of) and click Save.
You'll now be on the form design page, explained in the next section.
Edit an Existing Form
- From the Dashboard Home page, in the Content section, click Advanced, then Forms.
- Click the form title to open the form designer.
- To add new fields, drag and drop fields from the right-hand toolbar.
For example, you can drag in a new Paragraph.
To add a new question for a form, add a Radio Group, Checkbox Group, or Text Field.
- To make changes to a field or paragraph of text,
hover your mouse over the field or text that you’d like to edit.
The field will be highlighted and 3 icons will appear in the top right:
Remove Element, Edit, and Copy. Click the Edit (pencil) icon.
- After clicking on the pencil icon, you can edit the text that users will see by using the Content (or Label) box. (If you do not see this, you may need to scroll down.)
- Each field should have a Name, which will be the column heading in your form submission report.
- Do not edit the Class for the field.
- When you are finished with changes to the field or text, you can optionally click
Close (below where you are editing) to see the whole form.
