Building Web Forms with the DailyStory Web Form designer is simple. In the designer, a completed form may look something like this - with multiple text boxes, a reCAPTCHA and a submit button:

Adding items to the designer is as simple as dragging from the left options pane and dropping onto the design surface.
Drag-and-drop Form Items
Drag-and-drop form items onto the design surface:

Once added to the design surface, form elements can be selected and re-arranged by dragging them up or down.
Re-arrange Form Item Order
Form elements can be selected and dragged to re-order then:

Form Items
There are 3 types of form items that can be added to the Web Form designer (with more planned):
- Inputs - text boxes, drop downs and text areas.
- Content - HTML text and labels.
- Misc - reCAPTCHA
Input Form Items
Text Input
Text inputs give the user the ability to enter information that is mapped to a contact record. When an input form item is added to the designer, a menu on the right-side opens up with options. The screenshot below shows the options for Text Input:

Use Placeholder text to set text in the text input. This enables people completing the form with additional detail on what information they need to enter.
Use Label to optionally set a label for the form.
Map to lead field (required) tells DailyStory how to handle this data when it is submitted. In the screenshot above the input text will populate a lead's Full name field.
Required checkbox indicates if the person completing this form is required to enter data for this field.
As you set options on the form items, those options are reflected in the designer:

Dropdown
The Dropdown form item has some additional options. Specifically, the ability to populate a list of options for the dropdown:

To add a name (displayed) and value (what is saved) click Add Name/Value. This will open a new window where you can add a name and a value.
Submit button
Every form must contain a submit button. The submit button text can be set, along with a number of other options as shown below:

Content Form Items
Content form items enable you to easily add labels or HTML text onto your form.
The Html Content Form Item is useful for adding any custom HTML to your form.
Misc Form Items
The Misc Form Items provides a list of additional items that may be added to your form.
reCAPTHA
If reCAPTCHA integration is configured you can add the reCAPTCHA widget to your form.
