FormSpring 2 Launched, New Ajax Form Builder

FormSpring launched a version 2 of its Ajax Form Builder tool with a completely redesigned administration in addition to lots of new features. I especially liked the thumbnails view with onhover menus providing quick access to edit, view settings/data, use, duplicate or delete the form.

  • Drag and drop to add field into the middle of your form, or rearrange fields
  • Pop-up field controls to quickly access functionality
  • New field duplication tool to quickly create multiple fields
  • Redesigned dialog window used in adding and editing fields
  • Improved skip/branching logic user interface
  • New pre-select options for select lists, checkboxes and radio buttons

  • New setting for email notifications that tells FormSpring to only send the link to data via email
