Several New Suggestions
#2
Wow, great suggestions - thanks for the post! Let me just comment on each.

Quote:I would like the internal forms be able to be used as public web pages, or the views of internal forms as public web pages.

This is actually what I've been devoting all my time to - this last month and more. The Form Builder will let you publish any Form Tools form directly on your site with whatever styles you want. (I must admit, it's awfully cool!). I'll have a video demo out in the next few days to show how it will work, so check the homepage for that.

Quote:1. Multiple page forms with the ability to add html or text before or after the form page on to the next page of a form.

You could do this with the Form Builder, but not with what's currently offered. The options to add arbitrary text are pretty limited: only the "Field Comments" option for each field type, which adds some text underneath the field, when it's being edited.

Quote:2. Subforms. Instead of having one form that has event title, event description, contact name, contact phone number... ect.. that you would have a subform for contact name, contact phone number => stored as a separate form. It would be great if subforms were searchable, so everything you add in a subform could be searched and then added on the main form. Permissions could restrict what you can search for by just what you (a single client) entered in previously. Finally, a subform could be single or multiple. Like multiple contacts listed (more than one) or a set limit of subform entries (3) for example. That would be fantastic!

This sounds kind of like Views. Couldn't you create multiple Views within a form that contain those subsets of the fields, and assign permissions etc. accordingly? Each would store the data in the same form, so it's kind of like what you need, no?

Quote:3. Can an option selected in one form, create a new record in another form. A telephone call form if "contact" is selected in turn creates an incident record in the "incident" form. for example.

Ah!! Yeah, this has been on my list for a looong time. What I have planned is a "Extended Field Mapping" module that lets you achieve this, effectively turning Form Tools into a relational database. But it's still a ways off yet. Good to know there's interest, though.

Quote:4. Can an option list be another form? This would allow for dynamic option lists.

Yes, absolutely. For radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdowns and multi-select dropdowns, you can choose the data source to be from the field in another form. This was added in 2.1.0. You can find that setting in the Edit Field dialog window on the Edit Form -> Fields tab.

[quote[Program does not know who enters what on what form, or keeps track of the various form versions of a record. (who edited what and what was the initial submission.) Would be nice to have this level of tracking, could be very useful to know who enters what, and when information changes from version to version of the record.[/quote]

Have you checked out the Client Audit and Submission History modules? They track the activity of client accounts and track changes to the submissions.
http://modules.formtools.org/client_audit/
http://modules.formtools.org/submission_history/

Quote:6. Archive button on view submissions page - send record to an archive/archival database of records. I guess you could do this as an option field.

Yeah, I've toyed with the idea of adding some sort of archiving option for a while. I'd like to see it implemented in a number of ways. First, be able to archive an entire form, which would take it offline & hide it from the main Forms page. Secondly, I'd like to archive old submissions - like you suggested - which prevent them from showing up. All archived information should be exportable and de-archivable. But honestly, it all comes down to priority - this is too low a priority to focus on right now. But again, good suggestion!

Quote:7. Have views that display on the page (less fields), but when new records are created, all fields of the record are displayed. (Multi-part forms could solve this problem... the view submission page would be a few key fields, and the form would be a longer submission. )

I don't quite follow this one. Would this be for the initial "Add Submission" page? So the database record wouldn't be created until those (fewer) fields have been entered? e.g. you could have a first name + last name field, which after submitted, would take you to the Edit Submission page containing all the fields? Hmm.. maybe a dialog window for the Add Submission step containing the fewer fields. Neat. That would actually be pretty useful & I know the current way it works confuses some people. Right now when you click add, the submission is created even before you've added any values. Despite the message that's displayed, some people don't read it & don't realize the submission is already created.

Great idea.

- Ben
