Create and Edit Forms

Create and edit online forms using Govstack Forms. To access Govstack Forms, select the "Forms" option from the Govstack dashboard in the back office.

Please note:

• New forms will automatically include two pages. The first page is a standard question page and the last page is a “locked” page that includes a thank you message users will receive after they complete a form
• You can add pages to the form as necessary
• You should add your form to the appropriate folder in Govstack Forms

Add a form

To create a new form from the main “List” tab in Govstack Forms:

1. Select the “Add Form” button located above the list of forms
2. In the “Display Name” field, enter a name for the form (this will be included in the URL address for the form)
3. Click the “Save” button located at the bottom to create a new form

Copy a form

Learn how to copy an existing form when adding a form to Govstack Forms. This can help you save time if you are creating a similar form to one that you've already created.

Add questions

Once you've created a new form, you will be taken to the first page of the form under the “Design” tab located on the form toolbar. Here you can add an introductory message before adding questions to the form.

To add a question:

1. Select the “+ Add Question” button located at the top or bottom of the page
2. From the “Display on Page” dropdown menu, select the page number that you'd like this question to appear on
3. From the “Display After Question” dropdown list, select the question you'd like this question to appear after
4. Select the type of question from the “Question Type” dropdown menu

Click the “Save” button or the “+ Save and Add Next Question” button if you are satisfied with the question. Select the “Reset” button if you no longer want to add the question.

If you select the “Save” button, you will be taken to the form page that the question was added to.

If you select the “+ Save and Add Next Question” button, you will be taken to the “Add Question” screen where you can create a new question.

Do not use the “+ Save and Add Next Question” button when working with multiple choice questions.

You can also add a question from the “Design” page. Select the “Add Question After…” button located next to the question that you'd like to add a question after.

Edit questions and answers

From the form “Design” tab, you can add questions, edit questions, edit answers, copy questions and delete questions from the form.
