Working with Flowplan
Forms
A form view collects answers directly as records in the database – from members or, if enabled, from anyone with the link.
Design a form
- Create a view of the type Form in the database.
- Design form opens the editor:
- title, description and the label of the submit button,
- questions: order, hide, required, help text per question,
- question type: short or long text, radio buttons instead of a list, a linear scale 1–10 for numbers,
- confirmation text after submitting.
- Save form.
Flowplan checks required fields and input types in the browser and on the server. Files properties allow uploads in the form.
Share a form
Under Share form, switch the form on and copy the link.
- Members only: answering requires signing in; the answer carries the person's name.
- Anonymous: anyone with the link can answer, without an account and without a name.
Person and relation questions only exist in forms for members, because they would reveal members and records.
Answers
Every answer is a normal record: it appears in all views and can be filtered, assigned and commented on.
