The form block on your website

In the website editor the Form builder block (or a ready-made one: quote request, call-back request, event sign-up, satisfaction survey) puts a form with fields of your choice on a page. Fields can be text, choices, a date, a number, a file upload or hidden tracking fields, and can show only after another answer. A longer form can go step by step. Submissions gather under Settings → Forms of the website, with the views and the conversion of each form.

Fields. Add a field with Add field and drag to reorder. For each field set the label, the type, whether it is required and whether it takes a full or a half row. Among the settings, Meaning (name, e-mail, phone, company, message, newsletter sign-up) tells Demona whose answer is which – it gives the customer's name and contact details, and it is the address the confirmation e-mail goes to.

Conditional fields. Under Show only if, Add condition gives a field up to five conditions, each on the answer to an earlier field (is, is not, is filled in, is empty). With several, choose between all of them hold and any of them holds. A hidden field is not required, and its value is not sent.

Step by step. The Step by step switch pages a longer form: each heading field starts a new step, the visitor moves on with Next, and only from a step they have filled in. The consent box and the send button are on the last step.

File upload. A file field takes documents, images or both, up to 5 files of up to 10 MB each. One submission may carry 20 MB in all. The files are not public: they are downloaded only in the admin.

Consent and e-mails. Privacy consent can be made a required box; its wording and time are stored with the submission. The notification goes to the address set in the block, or else to the one under Settings → Contact. The confirmation e-mail to the visitor can only be switched on with a captcha, and carries only the text you wrote.

Views and conversion. Settings → Forms shows each form's views and submissions over the last 30 days, and the share of views that ended in a submission. A view is counted once per page load, when the form comes into sight – without cookies or anything that names the visitor, so it needs no consent.

Demona. When the team has the Forms module on, the block's In Demona field picks what a submission becomes there. If forwarding fails, the submission stays on the website and Send again sends it later.
