Several exciting updates have been added to the Look & Feel page to help you style your form and fields.

First, two new Look & Feel settings are now available to customize the size of text fields: “Field Font Size” and “Field Padding”. You can use these to make big, fluffy fields (or tiny, compact ones). This can be used to help attract attention to your form items, or to make them as concise as possible.

Next, more Look & Feel options have been added to make fields and buttons rounder. Rounding can provide a nice, customized look to your form. Rounded corners will work in any modern browser, but please note that Internet Explorer 8 and below cannot support rounded corners.

The Standard Success Page format has been updated to use a full HTML editor in place of the simple text editor and preview section. This new format allows for more flexibility to customize your Success Pages for a form. You may replace the ‘Green Check’ image with your own custom image and can use the ‘HTML’ icon to the far right to add custom code. Existing Success Pages will automatically show up in the new editor.

A new ‘Reset’ link has also been added to both the ‘Standard’ and ‘Custom’ Success Page formats. This can be used to reset the contents of the ‘Message’ section to the default image and text. For example, if you remove the ‘Green Check’ image but want to get it back, you may use the ‘Reset’ link.

The Table Notification format has been improved with a new, modern style. Multiple choice questions now display answer choices as bullet lists. Matrix and Multi-Scale items now display separate rows for each sub-question. Combined, these Table improvements make answers for complex questions much easier to read.

Row colors alternate for each item. Multiple rows for a single item share the same color. Required questions are denoted with a red star.

All of these improvements help to make the Table email format look great in a wide variety of email programs. You can get started using the Table format for your emails at the Form -> Notifications page.

FormSite has some advanced options that you can use to display an image as your form’s submit button.

First, you will need an image to use. Upload an image on your account’s “Account -> Files & Images” page. Then, copy the URL to where the image has been stored in your account. Keep this URL for later.

Next, edit your form and go to the Look & Feel page. On the Look & Feel page, go to the Advanced tab. The Advanced tab allows you to directly edit your form’s CSS. Find the section for “.submit_button”, this CSS class controls your form’s submit button. Replace this entire section with the following:

.outside_container .submit_button {
background: url(/example/images/big-button.png);
border: none;
padding: 0;
height: 150px;
width: 150px;
}

Set the background to be the URL to your image. Set the height and width to match your image’s size. Then, save the Look & Feel page.

Lastly, go to your form’s “Form -> Custom Text -> Custom Text” page. Find the “Submit” label for the submit button and replace it with a single space. This will remove the label text from the button so that it will not obscure the image.

FormSite has a new Reports feature. It allows you to share your form’s results with your users. This can be very useful. Reports can be viewed in two formats: Table format and Chart format.

Table Report Format

Table format shows your form’s results as a table. There is one row per result. The user can sort the table and resize the columns. You can optionally allow users to edit results from the table. All form data is available in the table. This includes: Order Form totals, Scoring totals, Form Login information, etc.

Chart Report Format

Chart format shows your form’s results as charts. There is one chart per form item. Users can select which item to view. The chart can be toggled to a pie chart or bar chart.

Security

In cases where security is required, you can also add a password or restrict what data is included by using Views and Filters. You can create multiple reports with different settings and give them to different sets of users.
