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.
