Creating new data collection forms

Add a new data collection form by clicking the + button just next to the 'Data Collection Forms' heading in the left-hand column.

Before you add a new form to onCourse, think about how this form will be grouped with other forms into a 'Data collection rule'. The name you choose for your new form will either need to be specific for the one type of rule it belongs to, or generic to make sense when you apply it to multiple rules.

You also need to consider what process this form will be used for - enrolment, application, waiting list, student feedback, payer or parent. It helps to name your form in a way that indicates its process.

You will then need to work through the process of adding group headings, fields and setting their label and help text properties. When creating a new form you should add the headings and fields in the order you want them displayed to the end user, to avoid you having to re-order them. You will also need to consider any conditional logic you’d like to use within the form and group your questions as such.
