2 The Forms tool allows you to create, edit, delete, and manage forms and questions. Creating a form is as simple as defining basic form information, choosing which questions/fields will be included on the form, selecting which products and/or packages, designing the look and feel, and dragging in questions and other elements onto the Form’s webpage using an easy to use WYSIWYG editor. When a user completes and submits a form, all of the demographic and transaction information from the form is saved in the ONEcount database.

14 **Questions are shared among ALL forms, so any changes made to question type, text, responses, alias, report header (See Question Builder - Create and Manage Questions for more detail) will change ALL forms, not just the form you are working on. Deleting a question will remove that question from ALL forms as well. **
15 **Changes made to form information, form layout, order of questions, and optional validations will NOT universally change forms – these changes will be applied only to the form you are working on.**

19 Form-related tasks include:
20
21 * creating database fields/questions available for placement in online forms; (See __[[Questions - Create and Manage Questions>>url:http://docs.onecount.net:8090/display/OD/Questions+-+Create+and+Manage+Questions||shape="rect"]]__ for more detail.)
22 * creating new forms;
23 * managing existing forms;

The next two tasks – creating new forms and managing existing forms – are carried out using the Form Builder tool under INVENTORY. Creating source codes is handled under __[[Source Codes>>url:http://docs.onecount.net:8090/display/OD/Source+Codes+-+How+to+Create+and+Manage+Source+Codes||shape="rect"]]__ and creating branded forms is handled under __[[Brands>>url:http://docs.onecount.net:8090/display/OD/Brand+-+How+to+Create+and+Manage+Brands||shape="rect"]]__.

315 ** Popup Vertical Position – It define the vertical position of popup on screen.
316 ** Popup Slide Position – It define from which side popup should slide before appearing on position.
317 ** Popup Delay – It define how much time popup should take to appear on screen.
318
319 ===== Prerequisite: As these forms appear as popup on the client site, you will need to add a CNAME record in your domain's DNS so that the pop-up and form code can be loaded from our servers into your domain. So if your domain is abc.com, you will need to add a CNAME record mapping oc.abc.com to <client>-[[reg.onecount.net>>url:http://reg.onecount.net||shape="rect"]]. Then this is done, any request going to oc.abc.com will actually to go your registration server at <client>-reg.onecount.net for loading the pop-up code and setting cookies. =====
320
321 ===== ·      Popup setup for gating: Once popup is created you need to create the Packages/Products for gated content. While creating the Package/product you need to select “Form” as “Primary Form or Landing Url” option. Then select the popup form created in the previous step. A text box will be displayed as below =====
322
323 ===== You can use this to ensure CNAME set up is done correctly. This box will be auto filled with <client>-[[reg.onecount.net>>url:http://reg.onecount.net||shape="rect"]] but If you need to gate a page or section on site [[abc.com>>url:http://abc.com||shape="rect"]] then enter oc.[[abc.com>>url:http://abc.com||shape="rect"]] in text box (because popup will appear on [[abc.com>>url:http://abc.com||shape="rect"]], This step is just for CNAME setup validation). If CNAME setup is not done, then it will throw warning while saving Product/Package. Also, the pop-up won't work on your site. =====
324
325 ===== ·      Popup setup for targeting: Once popup is created you need to create the action in action manager. While creating the action manager select popup form created. If popup should appear on site [[abc.com>>url:http://abc.com||shape="rect"]] then enter oc.[[abc.com>>url:http://abc.com||shape="rect"]] in Target Domain. We will check if CNAME set up is done correctly, if not error will be warning. =====
326
327 **Extra Scripts/Extra Styles:
328 **These boxes allow you to add additional Javascript code or CSS to your forms to alter the appearance or function of the form.
329
330 [[image:attach:image2020-10-9_14-10-26.png||height="250"]]
331
332 \\
333
334 One use for these boxes is to add Javascript code to your form that will change the questions and/or question responses based on a user’s response to a question on the form.
335
336 **Code for altering responses based on select type demographics:**
337
338 \\
339
340 **Example:** If a form contains a question which ask whether the user is a doctor or a patient. If the user selects doctor the demographic fields which are related to doctor will appear (type of specialty, NPI #, medical degree achieved, etc.). Otherwise, demographic fields for a patient will appear on the form. This modifications helps to show user only those demographic fields which are related to their previous answers.

365
366 };
367
368 document.getElementById("q_id_1051").onchange = function(){autoDropDown(hcpObj)};
369
370 \\
371
372 var hcpNoObj = {
373
374 "dropDownId" : 683,
375
376 "whenSelcectedItem" : [{
377
378 "Patient Role" : [1059,1211],
379
380 }],
381
382 "itemsDisplayWhenSelected" : [659,699,707,723,859,731,915,867,747,787,1043,779,771,795,739,763,1059,1075,1083,1091,755]
383
384 };
385
386 document.getElementById("q_id_683").onchange = function(){autoDropDown(hcpNoObj)};
387
388 \\
389
390 \\
391
392 **Steps:**
393
394 * Initialize removeInitial variable and pass an array of demographics ids which you want to hide when form is loaded.
395 * Create an object with any name and this object should contain 3 elements
396
397 1. dropDownId – You need to pass an id of select type whose action must be taken.
398 1. whenSelectedItem – You need an array of object this will be the response for the each select type from the dropdown. Key will be the response type and value will be the array of demographics id which should appear when this key is selected.
399 1. ItemsDisplayWhenSelected – This is array of demographics id, ids which are hidden before selecting the action for the demographic select type.
400
401 * getElementById("q_id_1051") – 1051 will be the demographics id which will be same as dropDownId.
402 * autoDropDown(hcpNoObj) – autoDropDown() function is called and object which is created above will be passed as a parameter this function implements the response base altering the demographics.
403
404 \\
405
406 **Note:**
407
408 * removeInitial is assigned only once at the beginning of the script.
409 * All the code must be included in form extra script area.
