Forms
- Jennifer Garvey
We have a couple different methods for displaying forms on our WordPress website:
In screenshot #1 you’ll see a vertical scrollbar. This can make it difficult for users (especially on mobile) to view the entire form. To eliminate the scrollbar, you can adjust the height of the form screenshots #2 & #3. You’ll see by increasing the height from 3500px to 4250px we’ve eliminated the scrollbar screenshot #4.
MS Forms allows non-web content admins to to create a form and easily access the submission data. MS Forms is limited in how complex the forms can be. However, it’s nice that the form creator has access to these settings.
Once the form creator has the form configured how they would like, ask them to provide the embed code which can be found under “Collect Responses”
View a list of forms that have been set up on the website. The status column shows whether a form is active or inactive. The views and entries columns shows the number of times the form was viewed and submissions received.
