Form Builder

Overview

Core's Form Builder lets you create custom forms for client intake, support requests, and internal processes. Combined with checklists, you can standardize workflows across your team.

Creating Forms

Basic Form Creation

1. Navigate to Settings > Forms
2. Click New Form
3. Enter a form name and description
4. Add fields using the field library
5. Configure field properties
6. Save the form

Field Types

Core supports various field types:

Field Configuration

Each field can be configured with:

• Label: Display name shown to users
• Placeholder: Helper text in empty fields
• Required: Whether the field must be filled
• Default value: Pre-populated value
• Help text: Additional instructions below the field
• Validation: Rules like min/max length, patterns

Conditional Logic

Create dynamic forms that adapt based on responses:

Show/Hide Fields

1. Select the field to conditionally show
2. Click Add Condition
3. Choose the trigger field
4. Set the condition (equals, contains, etc.)
5. Define when to show/hide

Example: Show "Server Details" field only when "Request Type" equals "Server Issue".

Conditional Sections

Group related fields into sections that appear based on conditions:

1. Create a section for related fields
2. Set visibility conditions on the section
3. All fields in the section inherit the visibility

Form Integration

Ticket Creation

Link forms to automatic ticket creation:

1. Edit the form settings
2. Enable Create Ticket on Submit
3. Map form fields to ticket fields:
   • Title
   • Description
   • Company
   • Priority
   • Category
4. Save the mapping

When users submit the form, a ticket is created with mapped values.

Customer Portal

Publish forms to the customer portal:

1. Edit form settings
2. Enable Show in Portal
3. Choose visibility:
   • All customers

Best Practices

• Keep forms focused: Each form should serve one purpose
• Use clear labels: Field labels should be unambiguous
• Add help text: Guide users through complex fields
• Test thoroughly: Submit test entries before publishing
• Review submissions: Check form data regularly for issues
• Archive old forms: Disable unused forms instead of deleting
