Requesting a Form

Requesting a Form

Joe Bigler can program online forms to collect data from users on your site.

Use these instructions to request a form:

1. Plan your form by answering the following questions:

• What is the new form to be called?
• Where do you want to form to be created and saved? Identify a folder on your web site where this form should be.
• Identify a name for each entry on the form. (For example, "First Name," "Last Name," etc.)
• Which fields are optional and which are required?
• How do you wish the information to be collected and submitted to you. Some options might be:
  • send each submission to me in a separate e-mail
  • compile each submission into an excel spreadsheet and send that to me on a regular basis
  • deposit the data into a database that I can then access and manipulate
• What kind of response do you want the person filling in the form to receive? And e-mail? A response page that shows up immediately after the form is submitted?
• What should the response page or e-mail say?
• Do you want specific contact info included on the form or responses?
