Collecting data using Forms

Collecting information from your users is a fundamental part of modern websites. This section discusses how to use x-Forms and when to integrate with external systems, for example the Partners Database or an e-newsletter provider.

EpiServer is set up with some forms that communicate directly with the Partners Database, which is monitored by GWPO. These are available for use anywhere on the main site.

Forms already exist for:

 

  • Partner applications
  • Newsflow signups
  • Help and assistance requests

However you can create your own forms with some very useful functionality, where EpiServer will email you a completed form, store it in a database or, if you integrate the fields correctly, send the results into the Partners Database directly.
