With Form Builder, you can create and deploy forms in minutes, right from a web browser. There is no need for any additional client software or plugins. Your web forms, accessible anywhere The forms you create in Form Builder are web forms. They are implemented using standard web technologies and can be accessed from desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Validation, visibility, calculations, and branching With Form Builder, you can define validation rules for your form fields, specifying errors, warnings, and alert messages to display. You can also define whether fields are visible or editable by users, and create rules to automatically calculate and populate their values, for example based on other fields. And all this logic runs in the background, as users interact with your forms, providing them with immediate feedback. Repeating sections and tables Form Builder allows you to create forms where a group of fields can be repeated. For example create a form for users to provide information about their children, with name, gender, birth date, and social security number. You can also set a minimum and maximum numbers of items allowed, and the form will allow users to add items until the maximum is reached. Items can also be reordered for convenience. Encryption at rest Simply select a checkbox in Form Builder to make specific fields encrypted in your database, with no additional effort. This feature can help you comply with data protection and privacy regulations, such as GDPR . Actions and services Form Builder lets you specify HTTP and database service endpoints. Actions allow you to react to events in the form and call services. The data returned can be used to set the value of form fields and more. JSON support External services can return data in XML format as well as JSON format. In either format, you can use actions to handle the returned data. Generate PDF, automatically or from a template can generate PDF files with the data entered by your users. The PDF can be generated automatically based on a layout of the web form created in Form Builder. A PDF can also be generated from a PDF template, which you provide to Form Builder, in which case will populate the form fields in PDF template with data entered by users in the web form. Multi-page forms Out of the box, each form can be presented as a beautiful multi-page form with navigation so that your users are not overwhelmed by large forms. You can easily see which form page contains errors, and quickly jump from the error list to the appropriate page. Optionally, the validated wizard mode requires that the user complete wizard steps in order.
