No user accounts, just one log in. The biggest limitation for me is not being able to customize the fields as easy as I would like, yeah you can go into the PHP and allow, for example, two fields to be on one line, but I would like it to be quicker…
Looking over their website and the demo, that looks like a good solution. What are some of the limitations? Can you create user accounts or does everything have to be done under one login?
I'm also thinking about google docs forms after playing wi…
I use Machform: http://www.appnitro.com/ its cheap and at the time of purchase they were running a special of $200 for unlimited installs, that way you can use it for your different departments. Very easy to use, but has its limitations.
Trinity is using SurveyMonkey for surveys and we just recently moved to FormSpring to allow end users the ability to create and manage their own forms. The users have been very enthusiastic because they can deploy very quickly without the need to wo…
I'm interested in this problem also if anyone has an update with products that they have tried. Several of our departments currently use WuFoo, but we would like to get an in-house solution for those forms that collect personal information.
For all of the responses that have been posted, so far; I'm curious about your impressions of the accessibility and coding standards utilized by these hosted services. I have very limited experience with these hosted solutions. I create each "form"…
I've been recently looking at FormSpring and FormAssembly. If anyone has experience with these solutions, I'd like to hear from you.
Hey Jon
Putting personal info on a server outside your system could be a breach of some institutional privacy blah blah blah.
For instance, here at Mizzou we have a specific contract agreement with Survey Monkey because the University was freaked…
At Brighton we use surveymonkey as well - its very easy for people to use who don't have any coding skills and offers a (mild) degree of branding within the templates as well as stat analysis out of the box.
Personally I would prefer something more…
Charlie: What in particular do you mean by your warning about personal information via Google Forms? In particular, do you have different concerns for Google versus Survey Monkey or other third parties?
Google Docs/Forms works great for me because it can easily be shared with another Google account.
Just be careful about what personal information you receive.
Survey Monkey is fantastic as well.
I've been looking at both Wufoo and MachForm. I'm still waffling.

- Regarding Forms in OmniUpdate. Users can create forms within the WYSIWYG editor. There are tools for each type form element. No coding is required. The form can then be pointed to a form parser on your web server. Our new LDP (Live Delivery Platform) will automate this even further with the ability for your users to view and get reports on the content submitted via the forms they created. This is all within the user interface of OmniUpdate.

I avoid US based servers for personal information, and try to keep all PII on-campus or at least on Canadian servers. The requesting IP number in GA data could be personally identifying in some cases, but I'm not very concerned.
I work at a small c…

Oh oh... it would be very helpful to know what % of mobile phones are Web accessible.. with a data plan. Based on that information, marketing to/with the device would change considerably.
Thanks for these great ideas! More?
