  1. Go to the content addition bar.
  2. Under "More  ParentAdvance-1", click "Form form-1".

The Participant’s view of the form

On the participant’s side, they will first access the form's title and description. Then, they are prompted to open the form.

A window will appear, displaying the different fields integrated into the form. In this example, a Layout field (Text) has been added, followed by a Layout field (Media).

An Interaction field (Slider with numbers) was also inserted to gather the participant’s opinion on the training. Finally, an Interaction field (Attachment request) allows the participant to attach a document to the form.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find participant submissions?

How do I export participant submissions?

Use the export function in the dashboard to extract your participants' responses to an Excel file.

Can I ask participants to send me a document?

Yes, insert the "Form" content and add an "Attachment Request" field to allow participants to share media or a document by embedding it directly in the form.

Can I add an NPS to my course or assessment?

Yes, you can use the "Form" feature with a "Number Slider" field set from 0 to 10. This way, you can survey your participants and collect data.

What does "step" mean in a form, specifically for the "Slider with numbers"?

The "step" refers to the increment. For example, if you set a minimum of 0, a maximum of 10, and a step of 2, participants can only choose values of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10.

If you want participants to be able to choose any number between 0 and 10, set a step of 1.

Is it possible to download all participant forms at once?

Currently, it is not possible to download all forms in a single click. Each form must be downloaded individually.
