Form Features

• Form Builder:
  Build your form and style it in minutes.
   
• Themes:
  Use one of the included themes or roll-your-own using the jQuery UI ThemeRoller, a point and click way to create a theme that matches your site exactly.
   
• Full Set of Controls:
  See below for our set of form controls. We continually enhance our controls and add to them based on customer feedback.
   
• Customizable Data Sources:
  The FormBuilder, if you use it, will get you started with the neceesary data commands for your form, but you can easily modify them to fit your needs. You have complete control over the data for the form. You get a Select command that executes when the form first loads - useful for pre-populating the form with existing or default values - and a Submit command that executes when the user submits the form. These commands can be standard SQL commands or stored procedures - and they take parameters. Parameters can come from hard-coded values, POSTed values, and values from the URL.
   
• Data-Bound Controls:
  All input controls can be automatically bound to your data. Plus, you can link list controls to separate queries, making it easy to setup "lookup" records or relationships between records in different tables.
   
• Custom Controls:
  If you can build ASP.NET controls you can build controls that plugin to XMod Pro forms.
   
• Use your own HTML and CSS:
  Tweak the form builder-built form or build your own. You have complete control to layout and style your form.
   
• Add your own Javascript:
  Add interactivity to your form with Javascript functions and third party libraries. XMod Pro gives you a number of helper tools to make Javascript integration easy.
   
• Send Email Notifications:
  You can define one or more email templates which can be sent when the user submits the form. Emails can be sent to multiple addresses, can have a file attachment, and contain data that was submitted in the form.
   
• Localization:
  Fully localizable. Labels and data can be localized. You can even have distinct forms and different data commands for each language and XMod Pro will dynamically the form based on the current language. This allows you to present a different layout or different set of controls and data commands based on the user's current locale.
   
• Redirect After Submission:
  Optionally define a URL to send your users to after submitting the form. Data from the form can be sent as URL parameters or sent as POST parameters.
   
• Success Messages:
  Thank your user for their submission, provide additional links and more. Use text, HTML and data from the form to present your users with a message after they've submitted the form. You can even define a message when adding and a separate message when updating a record.
   
• Use Dynamic Values In Your Forms:
  Use dynamic 'run-time' values from the environment in your controls and in your data. Pre-fill a feedback form with the user's name and email address for instance. There's a large list of data you can work with such as: the current user's ID, the Portal ID, the user's email address, a custom user profile property, the user's IP address and much more.
   
• Separate Add and Edit Forms:
  Many times you may want to change the look of your form or modify how it functions based on whether the user is adding or editing data. XMod Pro enables you to define a separate form for each and will automatically load the correct one based on the current editing mode.
   
• Live Preview:
  See how your form will look by previewing it. You can even trigger validation to verify your validation works and the messages display as expected.
   
• Online Help:
  When editing a form, help is a click away. Need to remember the syntax for a particular control? Choose it from the drop-down list and the complete help topic pops-up, complete with syntax, usage notes, attribute descriptions, and an example.
