This extension enables users to create forms varying from quite simple ones to advanced data collecting structures with a minimum of technical knowledge. The extension uses a few TYPO3 core concepts to create an intuitive user interface. The TYPO3 page tree structure and columns are used to define the form structure while the content is defined by seperate content elements.
It's possible to divide your forms in pages, groups and columns, to use the dynamic default template for fast form creation or custom HTML templates for the advanced tasks. A repository with a diversity of fieldtypes and javascripts is available to fill your form pages with just a few clicks and can be extended to your own needs. Due to the possibility of shortcutting you could create your own library of form parts and reuse them in any form you like.
Submitted data can be processed any time you like and used to adjust your form according to it. Adjustments could be made based on events or submitted data. Form parts could be shown and hidden based on a click or the value of a form field. Due to the concept of instances, form fields can change their appearance and functionality based on available data. You could change the whole layout of your form according to the actions of the end-user.
Results can be used to dynamically create different types of files and send them as attachment of an e-mail or offer them as download. Static files can be used as well and any data can be stored in a database whenever you want.
The great varyity of possibilities is made manageable using a collection of advanced wizards that will adapt their complexity to the complexity of the form being created.
