Setting up a web form

Abstract

Set up a web form by creating and inserting a form into a page.

The Web Form for Marketers module enables marketers, content authors, and others to create and insert new forms, customize default ones, add fields, as well as configure the submit button in a simple and straightforward manner. The module also records and reports the information provided by visitors in forms regardless of whether the visitor fills in the form successfully or not.

To set up a web form, you need to follow these steps:

  • Create a web form

  • Add a field to a web form

  • Configure the submit button

You can create new forms from scratch, modify existing form templates and then insert both web forms and MVC forms in a simple manner onto a page. This can be done in the Experience Editor, Content Editor or from the Sitecore Desktop.

Adding fields and sections to a web form is an integral part of making web forms work successfully. The set of fields defines the look and purpose of a form and you can edit its title, type and whether the field is required or not.

You can also configure the submit button, enabling you to set up the appropriate form verification as well as specify save and success actions.
