Survey & Form Builder

With NationForge Pro's built-in form builder, you can create custom submission forms in minutes — for registrations, surveys, memberships, or any kind of data collection. Every form gets a unique public URL you can share anywhere.

Pro Feature — The form builder is exclusively available in NationForge Pro.


Creating a New Form

  1. Click Forms in the left sidebar.
  2. Click + New form.
  3. Enter the form name (and optionally a description), then click Save.
  4. The system automatically generates a unique slug and opens the Builder page.

Adding Fields

The Builder tab shows an Add field panel at the top.

Available field types:

Type Description
Short text Single-line text input
Long text Multi-line textarea
Email With email validation
Phone Phone number input
Number Accepts numbers only
Date Date picker
Dropdown Choose one from preset options
Radio Radio buttons (single choice)
Checkboxes Checkboxes (multiple choices)
Section header Divider/title for longer forms

When filling in a field:

  • Label — what the visitor sees above the field (required)
  • Placeholder — light hint text inside the input
  • Help text — small explanatory note below the field
  • Options (for dropdown/radio/checkbox) — one option per line
  • Required — submission only succeeds if this field is filled

Use the ▲ / ▼ arrows to reorder fields.


Public URL

The public URL of the form (e.g. /f/membership-form-a1b2c3) appears at the top of the builder page. This URL:

  • Is accessible without login by anyone
  • Can be shared via email, social media, or QR code
  • Can be copied to clipboard with the Copy URL button

Settings

The Settings tab allows you to change:

  • Active / Inactive — inactive forms can't be submitted
  • Allow multiple submissions — the same person can submit more than once
  • Thank you message — text shown after successful submission
  • Notification email — if set, an email is sent on every new submission

Viewing Submissions

  1. Click the Submissions tab.
  2. See all submissions with date, IP, and a summary of the first few answers.
  3. Click a row to open the full detail view.
  4. Use Export CSV to download all submissions as a spreadsheet (UTF-8 BOM, Excel-compatible).

Automatic contact matching: If the form has an email field and that email already exists in your organization's contacts, the submission is automatically linked to that person.


Tips

  • Use Section headers in long forms to improve readability.
  • Make the first Required field the email or full name — this helps with contact matching.
  • Customize the thank-you message to match your organization's tone.
