JotForm - Another Way to Create On-line Forms

JotForm - Another Way to Create
On-line Forms

JotForm - https://www.jotform.com/ - could be a great tool for making forms for...

• on-line permission slips,
• surveys,
• course registrations, or
• short quizzes.

From a design editing perspective, I would suggest that JotForm is way ahead of Google Forms

With JotForm's new integrated PDF editor submissions through your forms can be automatically turned into PDFs that you can print and/or email.

To Use JotForm to Create an On-line Form...

• sign-up for a free account then
• click the "create form" button. Then...
• either choose to create a form in which all questions and response fields are on one page or choose to make your form in a "card" format in which viewers respond to one question per page. 

Once you have selected a layout...
Users can choose to...

• use a template,
• build a form from scratch, or
• import questions from an existing form even if that form was made with another service. I've successfully imported questions from a Google Form

NOTE: When building a form from scratch in JotForm users drag question types from a menu into their blank form.
They can add...

• open response questions,
• multiple choice questions (single selection and multiple selection), and
• questions that require a response in the form of a file upload.

There is also a star rating question format.

In addition, users can add...

• pictures,
• charts and
• block text

...to forms that they design in JotForm.

After all of questions have been added, it's time to customise the colour and font scheme of the form.

It's here that JotForm stands out from the crowd.

If you really want to customise the form's look, you can open the advanced editor where you'll find options for...

• text alignment,
• background images, and
• object spacing.

There's even an option for adding custom CSS for those who have those skills.

Users can share their JotForm forms by...

• emailing or posting their form's URL on-line,
• embedding them into existing web pages, or
• download the form as a fillable PDF

Responses to JotForm forms are found through the users JotForm dashboard.

To see responses simply...

• select the form then
• click "submissions.

All submissions can be viewed...

• in a spreadsheet format or 
• as individual PDFs that you can download, print, or email.

If you give JotForm a try or have already used JotForm, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments.

Thank you.
