In Sugester you can create forms and collect its data in the system. The content of a filled form can be automatically sent to your email address. This feature is especially useful when you're collecting service reports, questions for a customer support or just want to learn your clients' opinions.

To create a new form, first enable the right module. Select Settings > Modules and mark Forms.

After enabling the module you can start creating your custom forms. To do it, select Forms > Add > Create form.

You will see this window:



To each form you can add as many fields as you want. You can find the description below:

Add attachments Enables users to add attachments to a form
Text field A short text, like e-mail or name and last name
Select Unfolding list with one option to choose
Text area Longer text, eg description of a problem or user's comments 
Multiple choice A list with more than one option to mark
Radio button A list with one option to mark
Date field By clicking in it you can select a date from a calendar
Text Enables to add a text to a form, like a description or introduction to another section

Particular fields can have many properties, like a label, whether the field is required, width in px, validation kind (email, number etc.), submission field (eg. in a mapping kind client, more info later, you can decide if you want the data from the form to fill in fields in client's profile).

Note: if you want to create a new client out of form, you must add one 'Name' field.


 

Under More options button you have additional form's settings:

  • Text on submission button - enter the text to be displayed on the form's 'submit' button
  • Confirmation message - this message will be displayed to users upon successful submission of your form

  • Anonymous results - mark the box if you want form results to be displayed without IP, login, client, etc. Great feature if you want to create a survey among your employees
  • Form's and results' department - select which department will have access to the form and its results
  • HTML before form - HTML code from this field will be inserted before the form
