Form Example

Application Form Example in ResCenter

The following image shows a form’s configuration controls. Refer to the individual sections for more information about each control.

Attributes

At the top of the screen, there are patron attributes selected and added to the form. For each attribute, a format is selected.

Form Content (Section 1)

Under the attribute selection, the main form’s content is added. To the right, there is a function menu that allows adding Facility Preferences, Headers, Paragraphs, and New Page breaks.

In the form content area, the first section is a Paragraph function, dragged in from the function menu. This was added to give general info to the patron. After the Paragraph, a Header was added to indicate this is the Student Information section. After the Student Information Header, several attributes have been added to solicit general information from the patron.

Form Content (Section 2)

This section is a continuation of the first section. However, it begins on a new page. To accomplish this, the New Page function was dragged over, and another Header was added to indicate “Student Information (continued)”.

Form Content – Housing Preferences  (Section 3)

This section was created by adding a New Page, Header, and the Facility Preferences function. For the Facilities Preferences function, in Edit mode, instructional text was added, the available facilities were selected, and a value was set to define the number of facilities that patrons should rank.

Form Content (Section 4)

Finally, the last section of the form features additional attributes. Once again, a New Page and Header were dragged in to this section.
