Top Features To Look For In Your Online Form Builder
Use an online form builder to create digital forms that are easy to efficiently complete in the field, office, and beyond
Designing a digital form with an online form builder can be an easy task when working with the correct software. Some online form creators require coding and advanced computer knowledge. Fortunately, with GoFormz, it’s easy to create paperless forms that are easy to use, reliable, and highly professional - with no code required.
Below you will find the key features that are critical when selecting the online form builder that is right for you and your business operations:
Maintain your form’s look & feel
GoFormz is the only digital forms platform that allows teams to maintain the original look and feel of their existing work documents. This is an incredibly powerful feature for many teams looking to preserve their document’s original branding or critical formatting. For example, many construction firms are required to complete or collect specific documents for compliance purposes.
By leveraging GoFormz’s online form builder, these teams can easily digitize their existing form for use on phones, tablets, and computers. This functionality also helps businesses streamline forms app onboarding for even their most tech-averse users, allowing them to work within an interface they recognize!
Drag-and-drop
When selecting a form maker for your company, it is imperative that setup is easy for your administrative staff. In order to save time and money, finding an online form builder that requires no coding experience is key. With a Drag-and-Drop feature, your team can easily make forms that look exactly like your paper forms. To efficiently create forms, simply drag and drop your existing fields from your PDFs onto the GoFormz form templates.
By creating forms with a Drag-and-Drop feature, you can empower all members of your team to build powerful and organized templates, even the least technologically savvy. Learn more about why to use an online form builder with a Drag and Drop feature.
Additional viewing modes
When working with field teams, digital forms must be able to be viewed on a mobile device. Some form providers may only have screen sizes available for computers which hinder operations and cause bottlenecks within business processes. Looking out for a builder that allows users to work within smaller screens is crucial. With GoFormz, you can create customized forms that are accessible on multiple devices such as an iPad, iPhone, and Android device.
GoFormz also has two ways of viewing your form: Form View and List View. Form View looks exactly the same as your paper forms and List View shows your fields in an app-like index. Both formats are easy for your field team to fill out and lead to seamless form submission. Check out our video on the differences between List View and Form View,
Form sharing
Some form creators do not provide users with the ability to share their forms publicly. This feature is important as you may have forms that you need to be completed by that are outside of your organization. With GoFormz’s Public Forms feature, you can easily link to forms from your website and in emails, for individuals outside of your GoFormz account to fill out. This is very useful when your company needs to collect information directly from customers, patients, or other businesses. For example, GoFormz customer Prestage Farms utilizes GoFormz’s Public Forms during their hiring process. They simply have linked to a job application on their website.
“Being able to put an electronic copy of our employment application on our website allows us to attract better employees because we can reach people who already have a job, but want a different opportunity,” - Prestage Farms
