Plan Your Form
The first step to creating a new form is to plan what data needs to be collected, what data is required or optional,  and who on your team needs to receive the notification of that data via their email. If you need help designing your form please contact the ATLAS Support Helpdesk for their experienced advice.

The most minimal form typically requests the name and email address plus adds a text area for a message. See the simple form at the bottom of this page for examples of all the form elements available. All ATLAS emails automatically incorporate a reCaptcha challenge to prevent spam.

Important: note that ATLAS forms do not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII). 
PII includes such things as Driver's License numbers, Social Security Numbers, bank information, etc. If it is critical to collect PII you can embed a third-party form in a page on your site.  Jotform is a leading example of online form building applications easily embedded in an ATLAS site.

Make a Form Build Request
The next step is to send in a form request to the ATLAS Support Helpdesk. The helpdesk team will build your form to your specifications. It will then automatically appear in the available forms menu in the Form Widget.

Add Form to the Page

Once your form is built it is ready to add to the page:

  1. Select where on the page you would like the widget to appear. 
  2. Click on the blue plus add widget icon   
  3. Select the Form Widget from the widget pop up 
  4. Once the widget is added to the page, simply select the desired form from the list of existing forms in the Forms Application
  5. Test your form and review form data posted to the Forms Application Content section and check for an email notification of the form data.
