Last updated 7 November 2026
The Insites Form Builder enables you to build forms for your Instance using the Instance Admin. You can then use the forms anywhere in your application, allowing users to enter data into the system.
For example, suppose you are building a member portal and wish to collect user sign-up information; the initial step involves creating a database containing the desired fields for your form. Next, you need to create a form that corresponds to this database. It is important to note that your database can include additional fields that are not necessarily mirrored on the form. These extra fields might serve internal purposes, safeguarding specific data from public access, such as information about the member portal's account manager.
When a user on the web application submits a form, a new database item is generated. Depending on your application's requirements, you can send an autoresponder email to the person who submitted the form, send a workflow email to your team, or run your own code with a callback action.
