Forms

The Custom Forms feature serves as an excellent tool for gathering information about your membership and facilitating seamless communication between you and your members.

When members submit a form entry, they can viewed within the webapp and/or mailed out to any email addresses you specify.

All forms that you create are entirely customizable. This means the feature supports any kind of form that you may need.

The forms you create can be found under My Forms in the main menu of the app.
