Forms

Forms are a great way to capture information from users. Consider using forms to repurpose your old surveys and fillable PDFs to achieve accessibility for all users.

Forms collect data into a database in LiveWhale, which can then be viewed or exported. Settings allow you to send email notifications when forms are completed. These can be as simple as collecting basic information like name and email, or customized to meet your needs.

Note that forms on the Sweet Briar site should not be used to collect sensitive or personally identifiable information, like Social Security or credit card numbers.
