FAQs

Can I put forms I build in Forms on the Fly on my website or blog?

Yes, you can, very easily. Once you’ve set up a form, you click ‘Publish’ and you’ll be provided with a short piece of html code to paste into any website or blog. Forms on the Fly works well with, for example, Wordpress blogs or sites.

Can I use my own designs for the form and the reports?

With our Premier subscription, you can brand your account, forms and reports with your logo and choice of border colours. Currently you are limited to the layout we provide for both forms and reports, although if you know how to write simple html code, you can vary, e.g. font weight.

Can I publish ‘anonymous’ forms (I don’t always want to know who filled them in)?

No – not yet. For now, all forms require you to request a minimum of ‘first’ and ‘last’ names and an email address. The next version will include the option to ‘anonymise’ forms so that no contact details are requested prior to their use by your site visitors.

Can I incorporate ‘skip logic’ or ‘page jumping’?

With our new Pro version (coming soon or available in beta if you get in touch) you will be able to easily configure a variety of 'skip' questions features as well as 'pulling through' information input to free text fields to use in future questions. These features aren't available in the Free and Premier versions.

Your tools will save us a fortune in programming, but my boss insists we use our company styles and other features – can you help?

If, when your boss says “skip”, logic won’t change his mind, just get in touch and we’ll quote for a bespoke service. You can still impress by showing how much you’ve cut costs by using Forms on the Fly for the form logic!

Can I export my data?

You can export all your contact data as a CSV file (e.g. to open in Excel) or to import directly into Outlook. Data from submitted forms can only be reported individually, online or in a Word document if you have a Free or Premier subscription. Our new Pro version (coming soon or available in beta if you get in touch) will include a variety of additional reporting tools.

"The real beauty of Forms on the Fly is that it puts the technology in the user's hands, enabling you to create your own sophisticated forms, questionnaires and automated reports. The form engine is pretty intuitive, with plenty of on-screen help .... For anyone looking to develop online questionnaires without any computer programming this is a unique and extremely effective tool." Nigel Harris, AccountingWeb

Make It and Mend It quiz

Medical School questionnaire

"We run communication training modules for the post-graduate programme at the Brighton & Sussex Medical School. Creating quizzes and tests allows students to demonstrate understanding and helps us assess competency levels and flag key areas of interest and concern. The forms are so easy to create and highly flexible – we can divide them into sections, use a combination of response options and we have a record of who's completed them so we can chase slow responders by email directly from the system."
