Webform

EdWeb 2 allows you to create a very wide variety of forms to suit your needs.

You must understand best practice in form creation, as well as the basics of how EdWeb 2 forms work, before access can be given.  

Creating a webform

Once you have access, EdWeb 2 forms allow you to build forms for many different purposes.

You can create custom forms or use templates to suit your needs, and can choose from a wide range of form components to collect your information.

Users can submit answers using the Webform components for:

  • Checkbox
  • Text
  • Address
  • Date/time
  • Radio
  • Select

The Webform content type also allows you to view and manage form submissions within EdWeb 2.

You can view an example of a webform on our 'Feedback' page, where you can also submit your thoughts on this Demonstration Site.

Making your webforms user-friendly

One of our past Web Publishers' Community sessions shared tips on ways to lay out your form in a way that is  easy to use, backed up by user experience research.

A good form should be like a conversation between you and your user, and following these tips will make them more likely to complete your form.
