Udo Support

Forms are an integral part of the Udo Platform, and allow visitors to interact with you via the website. They can be used from just subscribing users to a mailing list, to leaving contacts details, or creating a user account, updating details, and much more.

Overview of Forms
A Form is build via the Forms section in the admin area, much like any other page. You can drag in elements that are form input boxes.  Each of these elements can be configured to be required, have a custom label, placeholder, and field name. (See: Building Forms). Once published (Go Live), these can be dragged into a page, layout, product, to display the form for site visitors to use the form. (See: Inserting Forms). Once a user complete the form, the form will automatically generate an email using the Form Layout (See: ), and this will be addressed to the user who completed the form, and also any users that are attached to the form via the Linked Items area, an alternative to this is to select emails that will be sent via the linked items area, to have complete control over the email content (See: ). As part of submitting the form, the form results area stored into the Form Results Section of the admin, you can view and export these results (See: ).
