External Forms

External Forms

Forms can be designated as an External Form.  This will give the option to send it via a secure channel to the client.

The form can then be filled out, and the information submitted back can be saved on the contact in the CRM. The request is sent from the client dashboard.

Setting up an External Form

Navigate to the Contacts page, then click on Custom Fields.

Once in the Custom fields page, Click on Form Builder.

Choose to create a new form or edit an existing form 

1. Once in the form, check the "External Form" box and save the form.
2. Once saved, click on "External Form" hyperlink to setup the request message.

External Form Settings

Once in the External Form hyperlink (See Below), you will be able to customize how the form appears to the customer.

• Require Signature: This will include a mouse signature box at the bottom of the page contact will have to sign in order to submit the form information back.
• Disregard Completed Fields: When checked fields already filled in on the CRM’s side will be omitted from the client’s end, preventing them from changing that information.
• NSLDS File Upload: When checked, an option to upload the NSLDS My Student Data File will be added to the bottom of the External Form Request.
