Save & Return offers form visitors the ability to log in and save progress of their form, then return in the future. Starting a form before logging in, however, used to mean that the form had to restart after login. To save their answers, form visitors needed to log in first.
That has changed. Formsite's Save & Return now allows form visitors to save their progress at any point in the form completion process.
Formsite forms have gotten a style update! Radio buttons and checkboxes now use custom vector images instead of the browser’s built-in input styles. These new input styles allow us to display a consistent appearance across all system and browser types. Also, mobile and other touch-enabled devices can scale the display to see sharp inputs at all sizes.
Making new forms can cause anxiety for some new form builders who wonder if they’re making the best form possible. The right questions, the right fonts, the right colors -- all can affect the success of the survey or number of submissions. A/B testing lets form owners track the success of changes to the form or survey.
A/B testing means having two or more versions of the form with small differences intended to affect the completion rate. Examples of tests for form differences include:

Form owners with the need for multilingual forms and surveys have options with Formsite. Many organizations have users who speak different languages due to location or targeted market. Solutions for multilingual forms include creating multiple manual versions or automating the translation.
The method used depends on whether the translated text exists or if it is possible to get easily. If the translation is not easily obtained, the translation service is usually the best option.
The most common methods for making multilingual forms and surveys are:
Forms use Notification emails to send messages after each successful form submission. These emails can go to many recipients including those entered into the form and defined addresses.
Additionally, addressing email Notifications can use routing items for addresses based on selected form answers. Sending only the needed email helps to prevent spam complaints and only send high-value messages.
One of the most popular articles shows how to make appointment scheduling forms. Form owners can add links for the appointments as events to Google Calendar, too.
The best method is to provide a link in the Success Page or Notification email to add the event to Google Calendar.
This is good for organizations to track appointments without needing to view each result, and also is a good solution for letting form users or managers add the event to their own calendars.
A powerful tool for Formsite form owners is the Success Page. Choosing from the variety of formats, the form owner can show a basic message, add custom HTML and scripts, or redirect the visitor to a different place. The Success Page always appears after the form’s submission and there are three available formats.
