Form Considerations

Forms are the foundation of your ShareVision site. Forms should be designed to satisfy requirements of your agency and capture data necessary to your success. It is a good idea to become familiar with the forms that are already in place to determine if they meet your needs. These existing forms can be modified as may be required or hidden and not used at all.

  • Forms should be as simple as possible while extracting the required information in the correct format

  • Data should only be entered in one place

  • Headings can be used to break a form into related sections to make it more readable

  • Field type "Information" and "Help Text", found within each field's attributes, can be used to provide a descriptive details of what users should be entering into a specific field

Getting Started

Start with a simple form at first.
Have a printed copy or similar example of the form you want to create.
Consider whether any of the data in the form already exists elsewhere in ShareVision and doesn't need to be in this form.
Consider naming conventions and use the same name for throughout the site. For example, people who receive services are named clients by default. If that name works for you, then use it consistently.
Consider if the form needs any headers to break it into sections. Think of a name for each header.
Consider if the form needs any information fields or help text included with any fields.
The form fields can be edited and modified.

☑️ Requirements/Dependencies

  • Login with ShareVision Site Administrator permissions.
