Create a Basic Form
Go to the Forms and click Create a New Form.
Give your form a name and the new form template will open up. The middle section is a preview of how your form will look. You can manage and edit the fields on the left.
Editing the Fields
The template will ask for some basic contact information. You can remove or duplicate any of the fields by clicking on the dropdown menu to the right of the field. Change the order of the fields by simply dragging them up or down.
Remove any of the fields you don’t need and add any new ones that you need. To add new fields, click the Add Field button at the bottom. A window will open asking what kind of field you want to add. You have a range of different options to choose from depending on the kind of information you are looking to collect.
The new field will appear on your form. Move it to the position you want by dragging it up or down in the left-hand panel and then edit the content in the right-hand panel. You will see how it looks in the preview window in the center.
Configuring the Fields
Click on any of the fields in the edit window to manage what kind of information you want the field to receive from your users. When the field is selected, the configuration options will open in the window on the right.
Here you can indicate whether there are a minimum or a maximum number of answers. For example, if you want to be able to collect more than one contact from your form, you can change the Max Answers field to ‘0’ and you’ll see in the preview window that users can now add additional contacts.
Setting the Max answers to "0" will allow the user to add as many answers as desired.
If you want the question to be optional, you can set the minimum answers to ‘0’.
If your question type is multiple choice, you can edit the answer options by adding them in the Allowed Options section.
Add Links
Add links like payment portals and other websites to your Subsplash form.
Configuring the Form
To configure the entire form, click the Form Configuration button in the left window and you will see the configuration option for your form on the right.
For example, if you want to add an image to your form, scroll down to Images and click the search icon.
Select an image and add it to your form. You will see it displayed in the preview window.
You can set up your form to send a notification every time it is submitted. Scroll down to Notifications in the configuration window and select who you want to notify from your contacts.
When the form is completed, please save it.
Form Submissions
You will see your form now on the Forms page. To view the live form, click Form Link and it will take you to the online form where you can complete the details in the online form and test the form.
Back on the Forms page, click the View Submissions link to see the details of any submitted forms. Use the filters to manage the way the submissions are displayed or click any of the submissions to view the form details for that user.

FAQs
How are these different from Subsplash Profile Forms?
Church Management offers a lot more flexibility with advanced settings on each form element
Church Management allows you to add custom fields to its equivalent of the Person Block whereas these forms have predefined fields you can toggle on and off.
Church Management has some additional input elements, including file uploads and custom HTML markup for making your own components
Church Management has the concept of “groups” that allow you to group elements together and nest fields. This is mainly for layout purposes.
Church Management allows you to add tags, add to a group, add capabilities, and various other automation to an individual who fills out a form. More of this could be added with time to the SnapPages version if the demand is there.
One of the biggest is probably that Church Management integrates with Church Management Events to allow you to purchase tickets and do registrations through these custom forms. We are exploring this as we do deeper integrations with Church Management.
