Creating forms

In addition to creating a simple form, you can also import an existing HTML form into QuickPlace and use that form to create pages in the place, as well as import an existing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel-based form into QuickPlace and use that form to create pages in the place. The following steps describe how to create these types of forms.

  1. Enter the room in which you want to create the form.
  2. In the table of contents, click Customize (if you are in the QuickPlace main room) or Room Options (if you are in an inner room of the place).
  3. Click Forms.
  4. Click New Form.
  5. Click Simple Form, Imported HTML Form, or Microsoft Office Form, and then click Next.
  6. Enter a title for the form.
  7. Click the Add button under "Fields -- What fields would you like to include in this form?" to begin adding fields to the form.
  8. If you're creating an HTML form, under "HTML - Attach the HTML file that defines this form," click the Browse button. In the dialog box that appears on the screen, choose the folder that contains the HTML file you want to use for the form (if necessary), select the name of the HTML file, and click Open.

    If you're creating a Microsoft Office form, under Template Document, click the Browse button. In the dialog box that appears on the screen, choose the folder that contains the Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file you want to use as a template for pages in the current room, select the name of the file, and click Open.

  9. Click a field type, and then click Next.
  10. Enter information about the field in the boxes that appear on the screen, and then click Next to add the field to the form.
  11. Under "Do you want pages created with this form to always be placed in a specific folder?" choose a location for pages created with the form.
  12. Enter a description of the form. You may have to use the scroll bar to move the description box into view, then click Done.
