Overview

The ITAM Admin Portal Form Builder has an extensive array of Field Types designed to help the Administrative User design a form that captures the data their organization needs in the most efficient and effective way possible. To get the most out of the effort put into building forms, it is important to understand the various types of fields, what their purpose is, and what options they provide to fine tune their use.

The Form Builder comes with 22 different field types to assist the Administrative User in designing a form that will best meet their oversight needs. Some of the fields exist to provide information to the user, either about the form or about the process. Others exist to help manage and control the flow of the form. Many exist to capture and validate a specific type of data and some include the ability to weight the answers to simplify compliance validation.

Shared Features

Many, and in some cases all, fields share some features in common.

Most field options have a help link next to the name of the field to provide information about the field and its intended purpose and use. Simply click on the small icon of a question mark and some information will pop up on the screen about the field.

The section break will be set to a fixed height and a vertical scrollbar will be displayed as needed. This is useful to display a large amount of text, such as terms of agreement or contract agreement.

Page Break

Cascade Form

This field is a great choice when you want to connect multiple forms creating a contiguous experience for your respondents. If you want to simplify complex forms with common templates that you "stitch" or link together, this is a powerful innovation that allows you to do that.

When you place this field into position anywhere in your main form you are presented with a multiple-choice drop-down selector containing all the active forms in your current inventory. You can cascade multiple separate forms together. You are also able to cascade within a cascaded form creating complex form nesting scenarios. The form fields will assume the name of the cascaded form name present in the drop down form selector.

The results of the respondent entries will stay with the specific forms cascaded together quite elegantly.

Any form that is connected by a cascade field will independently update data when a user enters information and in addition to the separate form data set, the updates flow upwards to the top-level cascade form data set. Bi-directional data management is possible with the top-level collation of all separate form data into one unified experience and report output.
