Permanent link for Form Builder can now send an e-mail based on a response on November 11, 2019

An often requested feature to the form builder is here! 

You can now have the form builder e-mail someone based on a users response. For example - 

You have an event upcoming. In the form you created, you have a checkbox to indicate if someone wants a t-shirt. Now when someone checks that box, you can have an e-mail sent to the person who is handling the t-shirts.   

When you are creating your form, simply use the Multiple Select option and use the checkbox for "Options will cause specific people to receive an email whenever the form is submitted". Then enter the e-mail address you want the response to go to.

Permanent link for List Module now includes ability to import data on October 2, 2019

This is huge. We are very excited for this.  

You can now take data (like a spreadsheet) and import it to the list module.  What does that even mean!? 

Picture this scenario.
You maintain a spreadsheet that serves as a directory of all the people in your department. It is a simple way to keep track of a persons name, phone extension, and job title. With this new import feature, you can take this spreadsheet and upload it to the CMS to create a beautiful list. 

Or this scenario...
You keep a spreadsheet of past scholarship winners. It is organized by a persons name, the scholarship they've been award, and the year of the scholarship. You can now easily import this data into the list module and have it appear on your CMS. 

Check out the How To Video to learn all about it.

Permanent link for Now available - Move forms back into "Draft" status on September 30, 2019

Imagine this scenario - You are working in the form builder. You are done creating this wonderful form and press the button "Request Approval."    You get that e-mail back saying "Your form has been approved!" 

Then, you are told you have to make a change to the form - after it's already been approved.    

Previously, you would have to reach out to someone on the Web Team to help you.  We would put the form back into a"Draft" status, you would make your change, and then would change the form back to "Approved".  

But alas - That is no longer the case! CMS Administrators who have the permission of "Manage Existing Forms" can now move forms back to draft after they have been approved. 

A few things to remember when moving the form back to Draft - 

  • The form will be unavailable while the updates are being made. 
  • Once your changes are made the form will need to be approved by the Web Team.
  • Deleting or changing a question on the form may remove previous responses' answers. This data will be unrecoverable.
  • We suggest you download an export of the responses before proceeding.

When you log into the Form Builder, you will now see this orange undo button. This button allows you to move the forms back into Drafts. 

Once your edits are finished, you will then click the Request Approval button. The Web Team will then need to approve the revisions.  As a reminder, please allow 3 business days for the approval process.
