In this blog post, we will explore some of the latest enhancements that make our form builder a powerful tool for any organization looking to optimize their workflows and data handling capabilities.

Form Submission Management via Submission Tracking Pins

Introducing the Tracking Pin: Simplify Your Form Management


The Tracking Pin is a new feature designed to streamline the management of form submissions by assigning a unique identifier to each entry. This makes it easier to track, organize, and reference submissions especially when handling large volumes of data. Some examples are application ID on a job application form or ticket ID on a customer support form.

Key Benefits of the Tracking Pin

  • Enhanced Organization: With a unique tracking pin for each submission, you can quickly locate and manage individual entries without confusion.
  • Customizable Options: Tailor the tracking pin to your needs by specifying its name, number of digits, allowed characters, and prefix. This flexibility ensures the pin aligns perfectly with your organizational requirements.
  • Improved Efficiency: By simplifying the tracking process, administrators can save time and reduce errors when managing form submissions.

How to Set Up Tracking Pin on a Form

Setting up your Tracking Pin is straightforward. In your admin portal, navigate to the "Tracking Pin" tab when a form is open for editing and configure the following options:

  • Enable Tracking Pin: Activate the feature to start generating unique identifiers for your submissions.
  • Tracking Pin Name: Choose a name that will appear in reports and notifications.
  • Number of Digits: Decide on the length of the numerical part of the pin.
  • Allowed Characters: Select which characters can be used in the pin, such as letters and numbers.
  • Prefix: Add a prefix to categorize or identify entries more effectively.

This feature is particularly useful for organizations that require precise tracking and management of form submissions. Whether you are handling user registrations, survey responses, or any other form-based data collection, the Tracking Pin ensures each entry is distinct and easy to manage.

Enhance Respondent Experience with Personalized Submission Management

Customizable Respondent Submission Listings


We are excited to announce a new feature that empowers website administrators to tailor the user experience by customizing how form submissions are displayed and accessed. Our "Respondent Listable" feature offers flexibility and personalization, and it can enhance how users interact with their submission data.

Key Features of "Respondent Listable"

  • Visibility Control - Administrators can now decide which forms appear in the respondent’s My Submissions list. This allows for a cleaner and more relevant user interface so that users only see the submissions that matter to them.
  • Custom Menu Titles - Customize the menu titles for each form to suit your specific needs. Whether you are labeling forms as "Customer Support Tickets," "Service Requests," or any other category, this feature allows for intuitive navigation and improved clarity.
  • Personalized Submission Pages - Beyond just titles, administrators can define page titles and select icons and descriptive text for each submission page. This ensures that users have a seamless and branded experience that aligns with your websites design and messaging.

How to Set Up Respondent Listable feature on a Form

Explore the possibilities of creating a tailored submission experience for your users. Log in to our admin portal to start configuring these settings and find the “Respondent Listable” tab when a form is open for edit. This new feature can enhance the way your users interact with their submissions.

This feature is designed with both administrators and end-users in mind. By providing the tools to customize submission displays, administrators can improve organizational clarity and user satisfaction. Users benefit from a more organized and accessible view of their submissions leading to increased engagement and satisfaction.

Share information with respondents

Respondent-Visible Submission Labels


We are excited to introduce a new feature that enhances how you and your users can interact with form submissions: Respondent-Visible Submission Labels.

What Are Submission Labels?

Previously, form administrators could create labels with different values to tag submissions. For example, on a job application form, you could create a label called "Application Status" with values like "Withdrawn," "Approved," or "Rejected." This made it easy to filter and manage submissions. However, these labels were visible only to form administrators.

Whats New?

Now, you can make these labels visible to the respondents too. This means that when users submit a form, they can see certain labels that you choose to share with them.

Image alt attribute

How It Works

  • Group Labels: You can assign a group name to each label, and labels with the same group name will appear together for the respondent. This helps keep everything organized and clear.
  • Easy Setup: To set this up, go to the Respondent Visibilitytab when editing a submission label. From there, you can choose which labels should be visible to users and assign them a group name.

Why Use Respondent-Visible Labels?

This feature is great for improving transparency with your users. It lets them see important information about their submissions, which can enhance their experience and engagement with your forms.

Organize your communications with respondents

Control Communication Threads for Each Submission


We have added a new way to manage communication between form administrators and respondents: the ability to control communication threads for each form submission.

What Is the Communication Thread?

The communication thread is a feature that allows ongoing interaction between admins and respondents after a form is submitted. This is great for follow-ups and allows both parties to exchange messages and upload files if needed.

Whats New?

Now, you can disable the communication thread for specific submissions. This is useful when a conversation is no longer needed, like when a customer support ticket is resolved.

Image alt attribute

How to Use It

  • Disable a Thread: Open the form submission, go to the messages section, and find the settings tab. Here, you can check the box "Disable this Communication Thread" to stop further messages.
  • Customize Messages: You can also set custom messages for when the thread is disabled. Use "Disabled Message to Admins" to inform form admins, and "Disabled Message to Respondents" to let users know that messaging is closed for this submission.

This feature helps keep your communication organized and ensures that threads remain relevant to ongoing interactions.

More secure file storage

Additional Encryption for Uploaded Files


We have enhanced the security of files uploaded through our forms with an additional layer of encryption.

What It Is

Previously, when files were uploaded through a form, they were scanned for malware and stored securely by our cloud provider. Now, we have added support for an additional encryption managed by us to make sure your files are even more secure.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Security: We use strong encryption (AES with 256-bit keys) to protect files before they are stored. This is especially helpful for sensitive documents like ID papers or forms related to immigration or job applications.
  • Privacy Protection: File names are changed to random identifiers to add another layer of privacy.
Image alt attribute

How It Works

  • Simple Setup: To activate this feature, go to the edit form fields tab while a form is open for edit. Then, open the edit dialog for the related file upload field, and check the "Additional Encryption on Uploaded Files" box under settings.

This process is fully managed by us and is seamless for administrators that can provide peace of mind for handling sensitive data.

Quickly access the form submissions you need

Reorganized Search Functionality in Form Submissions


We have enhanced the search functionality within form submissions that allows for more precise and efficient filtering. This improvement is designed to help organizations easily navigate through potentially hundreds or thousands of form submissions. This can streamline their data management process.

New Search Filter Tabs

The search filters have been reorganized into three distinct tabs, each designed to target specific aspects of form submissions:

  1. Built-in Search Filters: This tab provides form administrators with the ability to search submissions based on a variety of criteria:
  2. Submission Labels: This tab allows form administrators to search submissions based on the values of submission labels. [For more details, refer to the section on submission labels.]
  3. Searchable Form Fields: Form administrators can mark certain form fields as searchable. This tab enables them to search submissions using the full value provided in these pre-designated fields.
Image alt attribute

List of available Built-in Search Filters

  • From Start Date: Search for submissions starting from a specific date.
  • To Start Date: Filter submissions up to a specific start date.
  • From Submission Date: Locate submissions from a particular submission date onwards.
  • To Submission Date: Limit results to submissions made up to a specific date.
  • Tracking Pin: Find submissions associated with a specific tracking pin.
  • Submission Status: Filter by the status of the submission.
  • Full Email Address of Respondent: Search for submissions by the respondents complete email address.
  • Completion Status: For multi-step forms, filter submissions based on their completion status to identify whether respondents have completed all steps or left the form incomplete.

This reorganization not only enhances the usability of the search functionality but also empowers administrators to quickly access the information they need. By categorizing the search options into intuitive tabs, users can efficiently manage and analyze their form submissions, ultimately improving their workflow and productivity.

Set according to your specific business requirements

Session Timeout Duration Control


We have introduced a new feature that provides users and administrators with greater control over session timeout durations. This can enhance both flexibility and security on our platform.

What Was the Old Setup?

Previously, all logged-in user sessions would automatically expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. This meant that if there was no user interaction for 30 minutes, the session would end.

Whats New?

User Control: Users now have the option to customize their session timeout to better fit their individual needs. This is particularly beneficial for users who frequently operate in secure and trusted environments - such as their office - where the risk of session hijacking is lower. It allows them to maintain active sessions without being interrupted by frequent logouts due to inactivity.

Image alt attribute

Admin Control: Administrators gain additional oversight and customization capabilities.

This feature not only enhances user experience by reducing interruptions but also allows businesses to tailor security settings to align with their specific operational requirements. By balancing convenience with security, this feature makes our platform more adaptable to diverse user needs while maintaining robust security protocols.


Adding more flexibility

Multi-Session Login


We have introduced a new feature that allows users to enable or disable multi-session logins for their own user accounts. This can provide flexibility for different use cases and enhance collaborative work environments.

Default Behavior

By default, multi-session login is disabled for all user accounts. This means that if a user logs into a new session - whether on a different device or a new browser on the same device - the previous session will be automatically logged out. This default setting is intended to enhance security by preventing simultaneous logins from multiple locations.

Image alt attribute

Note: While multi-session login can enhance flexibility, it also introduces potential security risks. Allowing multiple users to access the same account simultaneously can increase the likelihood of unauthorized access and make it harder to track user activities. Here are some best practices to consider:

  • User-Specific Accounts: Encourage your respondents to create individual user accounts for each employee to enhance accountability and security rather than sharing a single user account.
  • User Education: Educate users about the potential risks associated with multi-session logins and the importance of maintaining account security.

While this feature addresses customer feedback and specific use cases, organizations should carefully consider their security needs and policies before enabling this feature to ensure that it aligns with their security protocols.


Conclusion

As we continue to innovate and improve our form builder, our commitment remains focused on delivering a tool that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our users. By incorporating user feedback and staying attuned to industry trends, we strive to provide a platform that supports efficient data management and enhances productivity. We invite you to explore these new features and see how they can benefit your organization. As always, we welcome your feedback and look forward to hearing how these enhancements make a difference in your workflow.
