Form Building 102: Building Smart Forms (10/26/16)

Are you getting the highest value out of your forms?

Webinar Recording Overview

The power of smart controls can make a world of difference. On Wednesday, October 26, 2016 iFormBuilder hosted a free 60 minute training session on Smart form design. During this hour-long session, Jonathan Hsu built on the knowledge of basic form building from last month’s webinar. Enjoy this webinar as Jon takes you under the hood of the inspection form to learn about conditional values, validations, and modifications. Understand how to use Page-level JavaScript, how to dynamically fill elements, and much more. To assist you, Jon has attached the form packages below so that you can import them into your own account and take a closer look!

The webinar is designed for members of the iFormBuilder community who are:

  • Form Builders who would like to start adding Smart Control functions within their form.
  • Form Builders who would like a refresher course on how to add Smart Controls.

Topics explored

  • What a ‘Smart’ form looks like
  • Best Practices for Form Building
  • Demo of a Form with a “Smart” workflow
  • Defaulting form fields
  • Conditionally show and hide elements
