Formsite’s File Upload item lets form owners provide visitors a way to attach files with their form submission. The files appear in the form result and can send with Notifications as email attachments if needed. Also, the cloud storage integrations allow form owners to send copies of files to an account in the cloud. Sometimes form owners need ways to deal with large files and many files, however.

For example, the File Upload item lets form owners set the max number of files to collect. Besides the number of files, the File Upload item settings include the max file size for each file. If the item collects 10 files at 100mb per file, that result could potentially reach 1gb (1,000mb) by itself. Multiply that by 100 or 1,000 results and the file space adds up fast.

Creating and customizing a digital sign up form for any purpose, group, or industry is simple with Formsite.

Best Practices for Creating Online Forms

Online forms gain from a handful of best practices that apply to every type of form you might create. Following these best practices provide a better user experience and increase completion rates. Here are Formsite's best practices for creating online forms:

Formsite has recently added a new DocuSign integration for collecting digital signatures easier. The new integration sends emails to each signer then collects secure signatures to save with the documents.

All kinds of documents needing initials and signatures can use the easy DocuSign integration. Some examples of forms that often use signatures include:

• Contracts
• Legal documents
• Approvals
• Project changes

Formsite form owners use online forms to collect results and securely store the answers in the Results Table. After saving the result data, form owners can choose to trigger integrations or send Notification emails. Notifications can contain results data, as with a receipt, and custom messages, as with an auto-reply.

The most useful auto-reply emails contain essential information, not just a thank-you. Unfortunately many online transactions send unuseful auto-replies that cause problems.

Application forms collect information from organizations and individuals seeking some type of placement. Examples of placement types include employment, an apartment, a loan, a spot on a university's campus, or a booth at the county fair. Application form owners include businesses, landlords, educational institutions, craft fairs, banks, and more.

Form questions include contact information like name and email, plus information for the position. Building an online application form for almost any purpose or industry takes only a few minutes with Formsite.

Invoice forms give form owners the ability to track and tally totals for billing purposes. Whether for products or time keeping, invoices show charges, discounts, and payment details. Formsite’s order form templates and tools give form owners ways to create custom invoice forms, collect payments, and more.

Essential elements of invoices include:

• Invoice number and date issued
• Description of products or services
• Price and quantity for products or services
• Contact information and payment instructions
• Subtotal, discounts, taxes, and any other amount modifications
• Total due, date due, and terms

Order forms collect orders and payments from customers to receive products and services from sellers. Besides collecting contact information, the order form also gathers details about the order. 

Formsite's customizable order forms let your customers place orders online with quantities and options. For example, menu items at a restaurant, church donations, products and services from small businesses, or t-shirts from an ecommerce shop. Building an online order form only takes a few minutes with Formsite.

Event organizers can collect event registrations online easy with Formsite. Optional additions include sending confirmation emails, adding to Google Calendar, and much more. Use the Pre-populate link to make RSVP forms and send to specific attendees, too. Formsite has many templates for all kinds of events and meetings to support every need.

RSVP forms contain many similar items and features of registration forms. Often they appear as individual or blanket invitations and collect replies indicating the intent to attend. This is different from registration forms that display as a way to add an individual’s information to the attendee list.
