FormEdit

A template-based form building kit is used to create the web forms.

The templates can first be adjusted to the existing design using HTML/CSS.

The following input elements are then available to the editor for creating their forms:

• Text , password and text area for entering a single or multi-line text,
• checkboxes and radiobuttons ,
• Comboboxes , which can be optionally filled manually or automatically from any database linked in FirstSpirit™,
• a file upload component,
• freely configurable, Ajax-based auto completers , which make use of a database or an XML interface
• and a Captcha component for safeguarding against form misuse.

All fields can be defined as mandatory fields and assigned any number of validity checks available for your input type.

Diverse actions are available to choose from for further processing of the form data and can be combined in any way required.

• E-mail
  The form data is sent by e-mail to one or several definable recipients. The e-mail is designed using a template, in which the form data entered is available as wildcards. Any files uploaded via the form are optionally sent with the mail as an attachment.
• Database
  The form data is stored in a structured form in a JDBC-capable database and from there can be made available to any systems for further processing.
• CSV file
  The form data entered is collected in a CSV file and is available for importing into Excel or other systems for statistical analysis.
• Log file
  The form can be configured so that the data entered is also logged in the log file of the web server or the servlet engine.
• Form path
  The data can be forwarded to a following page, where it can be supplemented with further input, to display a form path. Complete process sequences are created by connecting pages in series.
