How to Purchase FormLogix forms – Now starting at 1.99$

FormLogix have just reduced their prices and are giving away discount coupons for those who wish to purchase or renew their FormLogix subscription.

Another great change is that the formLogix form builder has a new free trial version for the period of 60 days. This free account is unlimitted in forms and submissions. Once this trial period is over you will need to purchase a subscription in order to use your email form/s.

Purchasing a form is really easy and is divided in to 2 steps:
A- making a form order in the FormLogix ‘Payment Center’.
B- Making the actual payment in PayPal. FormLogix does not handle its purchase transactions, it does not collect credit card numbers and such, but rather has a third party company – PayPal – do it for her.

There are 3 types of FormLogix subscriptions – you will need to review them in order to choose the most suitable for you:

1- Pay Per Form If you are interested in paying for only one or several forms (while leaving the rest of them in the free version) then this is a suitable option for you. FormLogix are now granting a coupon of ‘up to 50%’ discount to those wishing to purchase a ‘per form’ subscription. You may find this coupon on the FormLogix Facebook page.
Learn more about how to use the discount coupon.

* Please notice that the ‘per form’ subscription enables you to purchase a basic subscription (for the chosen forms) and add, if needed, 2 special features: SSL, File Upload.
If you wish to include these features you will need to turn on their checkboxes while you are making the order and before pressing on the “Buy Now” button.

2- Pay Per SubmissionIf you wish to base your subscription on a fixed number of submissions instead of on a certain time period than this is the option for you.
Once you choose this option all the forms in your account will automaticly be included in the paid version. Each time someone fills in one of your forms the number of submissions will reduce by 1.
Please notice that this type of subscription does not include the 2 special features:
SSL, File Upload.

3- Pay Per Account – VIP Subscription
This is an all included, unlimitted paid subscription for your entire account. If you wish to work freely than this is the option for you.
The VIP prices have just reduced and start at a monthly rate of 8.99$ for the period of 12 months.
All you need to do is choose the period of subscription and all your forms will function under the paid version for that period of time.
* This subscription already includes the 2 special features: SSL and File Upload.

Following are steps to make a purchase:
1- Enter the ‘Payment Center’.

The current/previous orders made are all stored in the payment history and may be viewed by pressing on the ‘View Orders’ gray button in the payment center.

Limiting your email form to a maximum number of submissions

When you purchase a FormLogix ‘per form’ subscription your web form has no limit when it comes to the number of submissions it allows. In some cases you wish to ‘stop’ collecting data after a certain number of submissions – in these cases you can use the ‘max rows’ option in the ‘form settings’.
This option lets you enter a number of submissions after which form fillers will not find the email form accessible.
The max rows option closes the form to submissions but may be reopened by changing the number in the ‘max rows’ field to a bigger number or to 0 (zero means that there is no limit).

Following are steps to limit your email form to a maximum number of submissions:
1- Enter your web form in the form creator.
2- Go to the ‘form settings’ on the right.
3- Enter a number in the ‘max rows’ field.
4- Press ‘apply’.
5- Save the web form.

* Limiting the submissions may also be achieved by purchasing a ‘per submission’ subscription. However you should be aware that the bulk of submissions purchased apply to all forms in the account (which collect data publically) and not only to a specific form. So if you have a few active forms at the same time you will not be able to control the number of incoming submissions to each one separately.

Change your Web form dimensions

When you create a new email form it always has a default size (727×506 px).
The size of the form is of no importance unless you wish to embed it in a specific area of the webpage – in this case you need to determine the exact size of the email form so it doesn’t get cut. When embedding a web form you need to publish it as “script” or “iframe” and insert the generated code the specific area of your web page html.

Following are steps to change the form’s dimensions:
1- Enter the form in the form builder.
2- Go to the ‘form settings’ on the right.
3- enter a different width and height.
* if you are trying to contract the form size when there are elements in it you may not be able to do so if there are elements in the way. If this is the case, try to move/change elements size to allow the wanted contraction.
4- press on ‘apply’.
5- save the form.

** please note that if you change your form’s dimensions after it has been embedded you will need to publish it again and replace the current generated code with the new one.

How to create an email form

When you decide to add an online web form to your website (such as a feedback form) you automatically expect the data entered in the web form to be sent to you somehow – no?
What you are really looking for is an email form. An email form is an online form which sends you a new data entry alert email once it is submitted by a form filler.

But how do you plan to create an email form? If you do not have any programming skills you have 2 options. The first is to hire a professional programmer to create the form for you. This option is costly and will take time to complete. The second is to create the email form yourself using an email form builder. An Email form builder is a great tool for those who have no programming skills. It enables you to create an email form easily and quickly and it is cost worthy.

An email form builder is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) tool, which means that you can see what the form will look like while you are creating it.
By a simple ‘drag & drop’ motion you add your elements to the form. The email feature is the easiest thing since it is done for you automatically by the email for builder. All forms created using the email form builder are email forms unless you cancel the emails sent to you.
So you see…it is really simple to create an email form yourself.

How to create a chart based on your feedback form

When you view your feedback form data you see it as a report by default. This may be changed and you can view it as a chart, which is a great analyzing tool.
The chart may be saved for future use and also may be externalized for others to view.

Add private access fields to your web form

Sometimes you wish you could add your comments/ratings/etc to the web form entry after it was submitted, without the form filler being aware of it. Well…this can easily be accomplished by using the ‘private access’ option.
Private access fields are fields which are placed in a container within the form and are only visible and accessible to the form owner. Main usage is for adding remarks or ratings to entries after they are submitted. This option suits all kinds of forms, ranging from contact and feedback forms to order forms.

1) Enter the web form you wish to add access fields to in the form builder .
2) Drag a container element.
3) Turn on its ‘Private Access’ checkbox in the element’s settings.
4) Drag the elements of your choice in to the container.
5) Save the form.

Access fields will not appear in published forms, only in the form owner’s report.
Steps for adding your data in the access fields:
1) Enter the form’s report page.
2) Double Click on a specific entry line to enter the entry in edit mode (or choose ‘Tools’>Edit).
3) Your access fields will now be sowing and you will be able to enter data in them.

SMS Alerts

Sms Alerts are a great option for those who are not constantly online, but would still like to be informed all the time. It may be applied to all forms: an order form, a feedback form, a contact form, etc.
When a form filler submits an entry in your web form a new data entry alert email is automatically sent to you by default.
If you wishe to be notified about these new data entry submissions via cell phone you can purchase a bulk of SMS’s and redirect them to your SMS cell phone number.
* Please note that the SMS feature requires the purchase of an SMS bulk and it only applies to all the active forms using this feature in the account.

Following are steps to use the SMS Alerts option:
1) Purchase a bulk of SMS’s in the Payment center.

2) Enter your form in the form creator.

3) Go to the “form settings”.

4) Type your cellphone number in the SMS Number field.
* Take note – You must enter the complete number (the same as when people dial your number from overseas). It should include the country code + cellphone number with no spaces between them.

For example:
if your cell phone number is 054-5874165 and you live in israel (country code=972) than you should enter your number as follows: 972545874165.

Does your feedback form have a web database

When you embed a feedback form in your website you want the entered data to reach you as soon as it is submitted. An email form is a great solution for this- once data is entered in your form it is sent to you via email. But what if you want to store the data somewhere, to allow you data management? For this you will need a web database.
The web database is an added value to a regular email form. The email is still sent to you, but the data is also collected in a data management tool which is accessed online.
The web database allows you to view data, edit it, export, import, create charts and reports and so on.

How to add a radio button to your feedback form

A feedback form must allow the form filler to give his opinion. A good way to collect this data without letting the form filler stray to other minor topics is by giving him a list of a options to choose from. This may be done by using a listbox element or a radio button element.
Learn more about how to add a radio button to your feedback form.

The element’s caption

The element’s caption is basically its name. The elements’ captions play a significant role in the form’s functionality since they appear in the data management result table and emails and without them it is sometimes impossible to distinguish between the fields.
When you drag an element for the first time it has a default general name such as: “Checkbox” for all checkboxes or “Radio” for all radio buttons. If these default captions are not changed than when someone fills in your form you will not be able to tell one checkbox apart from another and truly understand the data collected.
Following are steps to change the element caption:
1. Drag an input element on to the design area and make it is selected (has a red border) .
2. Go to its ‘element settings’ on the right.
3. Change the caption text (the caption text is usually the same text as the label attached to the element).
4. Press “apply” and continues to change the other elements’ captions.
5. Save the form.
