Making your feedback form continues

If your feedback form is long may you would like to consider turning it in to a continues form. A continues form is a multipage form. It is made out of separate individual forms and is a great alternative to long forms which have a scroll.
Since the continues form is not created like the regular forms in the form builder, but rather is a combination of several existing forms, you will need to create the forms first. When all separate forms are created all you will need to do is enter the 'continues form' option in the data center and choose the forms that will make up this continues form (and their order).

Steps to create a continues:
1. Give the continues form a name.


2. Choose the forms that will appear in the continues form. Please notice that each form has a number on its left side (starting with #1) – this defines the order in which the forms will appear.


3. Press on the "Save as continues form" button.


4. When your continues form is saved a publish section will appear on the right (publish method : URL). The generated code should be placed in the browser’s address bar to view/enter data in the continues form.


5. Once the continues form has been created it will appear in the data center under “My Continues Forms” and the following options will be available:

edit - Pressing on “edit” will direct you to the continues page again, where you can edit the data or publish the continues form.
Delete- Pressing on “delete” will delete the continues form. Please note that because the continues form is made out of independent forms, deleting it will not delete these forms but only the continues form you created from them.
Export - Pressing on “export” will open all the data collected in the continues forms in an excel sheet.
