Custom Online Form - Basic Settings

Custom Online Forms

Custom Online Forms are used to gather information about your clients. Custom Online Form data is attached to individuals or accounts. You can add Custom Online Forms to the registration process or link people to the forms directly. You can even have a third party fill out data on a form and have that information attach to an individual or account. 

When creating a custom online form, you will use the My Forms wizard to:

• Determine form behavior on the Basic Settings page.
• Specify how a form is marked Complete.
• [Optional] Set up form-specific automated email notifications.
• Add text and questions to communicate and collect information.

My Forms Wizard

The My Forms wizard primarily uses 4 pages to set up your form. Each page is detailed below. Expand the "Details" section to review the more advanced setup options on that page.

To access the My Forms Wizard:

• Go to Settings
• Expand Systems/Management
• Click on My Forms

Basic Information

On the Basic Information page, you must address the following settings:

• Specify the Form Name: This will be used to identify the form to your clients as well as in your reporting.
• Choose if the form will be For Individual or Account: Your selection determines if the form data will be attached to individual people or to the account in general.
• The Form Type defaults to Standard: Completed by the Account Holder, but you can change this to Third Party Reference Form for situations where you want the information to be filled out by someone outside the account (like for a staff application reference).

Basic Information Page Details

Basic Information

• Form name: Enter the name you wish to identify the form by
• Category: Categories are used to group forms. Enter text to create a new category or select one from the dropdown menu to use an existing category.
• Form Description: Descriptive text entered here will only ever appear beneath the Form Name in the Document Center on the public side.
• For Individual or Account: Use the dropdown to select whether the data for the form attaches to an Individual or the entire Account. Selecting Account will cause the form to display under the Primary Contact, as well as on the Account Detail page.
• Contains Medical Information: Checking this box will restrict access to those with the appropriate Medical user access.
• Form Type: Standard - Completed by account holder is the default and used for most forms.
  • Selecting Third Party Invite will change the behavior of the form.
  • Instead of the account holder filling out the form directly, they will instead complete an "Invite" page which includes the email address of the Third Party. 
  • When the invite is completed, the form will be sent to the specified email address or "Third Party" who can then fill out the form. The form is then saved on the original individual's account. 
  • The Third Party does NOT need to have an account in UltraCamp to fill out the details.
    
    
    

Visibility

• Allow the public to access this form outside the registration process:
  • This lets a person see, review, and edit the form after they first access it.
• Allow the public to access this form from the document center: 
  • This lets a person see, review, and edit a form directly without encountering it first via a link or registration.
• Completed third-party forms are private and should not be visible to the public:
  • This only shows for Form Type: Third Party Invite. 
  • Checking this box will keep the Third Party's answer hidden from the account holder.

Restrictions

• Age Restrictions can be set for the form if it is set to attach to an Individual. 
  • UltraCamp will check the Individual's age at the time the form would be filled out to see if they should be given access.
  • Individuals who are not currently within the set Age or Grade limits will not see the form.
• Allow an "On File" option: lets an admin designate that they have a hard copy of the data for reporting purposes. This does not put any data into UltraCamp.
  
  
  

Expiration Settings

The expiration settings determine how long UltraCamp considers form data to be up to date. 

• Set the Expiration Typeto one of the following:
  • Each Season: (the default) marks form data out of date at the end of the season in which they complete the form.
  • Never Expires: means UltraCamp never marks form data as out of date.
  • Always New: means UltraCamp never marks form data as out of date but saves each completion or edit of the form as a new dataset.
  • After X Days: allows your organization to specify a specific number of days before UltraCamp marks form data as out of date.
• An Expiration Grace Period can be used to extend the time a form is considered up to date in UltraCamp.
• Setting the form to Display only once per season will prevent the form from showing up in subsequent registrations during the same season. It can still be accessed from the Document Center.
  
  
  

Due Date Settings

• Due date settings can put an alert on an account for Required Forms as designated on a session.

Completion Acknowledgment 

Use the Completion Acknowledgement page to specify how a form is identified as finished or up to date. You must address these settings for your form to function properly.

• For the Completion Acknowledgement Type, your choice will determine if a client can skip required fields and save their progress (Ask if the form is complete) or has to fill out all required fields before saving their progress (the other two options).
• Signature Collection can generate a certificate of authenticity by taking the clients chosen signature, IP address and time stamp if you choose Electronic Signature.
  
  
  

Completion Acknowledgment Page Details 

For the Completion Acknowledgment Type, choose:

• Do not ask if the form is complete if you just want a "Next" button to appear at the bottom of the page. Clients must fill out all required fields in order to proceed to the next page in the registration process.
• Ask if the form is complete to permit clients to say the form is complete if they have filled out all required fields or that they'll finish it later (and skip any required fields). If they choose to fill the form out later, they will be able to continue with the registration process. You can customize the text for both options in the text fields provided.
• Require clients to attest that the form is complete forces clients to fill out required fields and acknowledge that they are finished before proceeding to the next page. You can customize the acknowledgment text in the field provided.

For Signature Collection choose one:

• None -- No signature will be required.
• Collect Electronic Signature - This will require clients to agree to and choose an online signature. UltraCamp will then generate certificate of authenticity with their signature, time-stamp, and IP address. A copy of this certificate will be saved on the account as a pdf which preserves the form and answers as they were at the time of signature.
• Hard Copy - This will email the client a copy of their answers for them to print out and sign. They can then return this signed copy to your organization.

Notifications

This page should really only be used in situation where the form is not part of a registration process or if you need someone to review each form as it is submitted.

You can designate notifications To Clients on this page when they first complete the form and/or when they update it. You can also designate notifications To Staff for the same.

Form Data and Editing

Here are some important notes about editing existing Custom Online Forms:

• All responses to Custom Question Templates are stored in a specific table in the database. If a question is removed from a form, all data related to that question is wiped from the table and lost.
• UltraCamp only saves the most recent response to a question on a form, writing over previous answers unless the form Expiration is set to "Always New." In this case, custom reports only return the most recent response data.
• Changing the question prompt does not affect stored answers on a Custom Question.
