FormArtist Product Details

Features:

Easy to Use

• Around 75% of FormArtist users have little or no knowledge of HTML or web servers.
• Designing a form, deploying it to a web server and analyzing the results is an extremely straightforward process with wizards to guide you every step of the way.
• Create and deploy forms and surveys in a fraction of the time it would normally take you.

• FormArtist forms are unique in appearance.
• You have complete control over the look of your forms which can be any shape, size, style, number of pages, color scheme.
• FormArtist’s WYSIWYG form editor enables you to produce professional looking forms with ease.
• Produce great designs without being a designer.
• Attractive forms encourage high response rates.

• Multi–page forms don’t require web page re–loading when moving through the form, enabling respondents to complete your form quickly.

• As well as the usual data entry fields such as text, numbers, lists, checkboxes etc, FormArtist is the only forms and survey software to offer unique objects such as picture grids and its patent pending emoticons.

• FormArtist is a one–off purchase desktop software package. There are no limits to the number of forms or surveys you can build and no limits to the amount of data you get back.

• Microsoft, Unix and Linux servers are all supported and FormArtist automatically creates and manages the necessary ASP and PHP scripts.

• When respondents submit data, the responses are stored as an XML file on the web server. This data can then be fetched back (either manually or automatically) to your PC and stored in a database already created in FormArtist when the form was built.

• FormArtist forms and surveys will run in Microsoft Internet Explorer(>4.0), Netscape (>4.08), Mozilla, Opera and Mosaic browsers. No plug–ins are required.

• You can easily deploy your forms and surveys in ‘pop–up’ mode, or you can embed them into a web page. Dreamweaver (coming soon) and FrontPage plug–ins make the embedding process a one–step job.

• FormArtist’s Form Manager module allows respondents to fill in forms offline without an internet connection.
• This is ideal in situations where any sort of field–based data collection is required.
• The Form Manager module manages any number of forms and allows respondents to fill in as many instances of each form as required.
• Partially completed forms can be saved at any point and returned to at a later stage. This is ideal where forms are lengthy and require some time to complete.
• This module is only available in the Professional and Advanced products.

• Validations, page skipping, data piping, page and response randomization, calculations and other tasks are easily accomplished using FormArtist’s powerful Scripting capabilities.
• Creating your own scripts is easy using a simple dialog–driven script manager.
• If you are more technically minded, you can write JavaScript scripts to interact directly with your form.

• When a form is running on the web server, the data is stored in a folder which you can protect by restricting public read access to the folder.
• When data is fetched back to the FormArtist database, data is collected through a PHP/ASP script using password protection, so allowing only the person deploying the form to collect the data.

• FormArtist offers exceptional value for money. From the Free edition through to the Advanced products, you’ll find a solution that will suit your needs and one which you can easily expand as your business requirements become more demanding.
