HTML Form Features Information 3/12/19
HTML forms (templates) have new features added. Some forms have them all, some do not.
Load / Save
Load Form data
Save Form data
This allows you to save your form data as a text file with the form name and saved date/time as the file name. You can change the file
name to whatever you wish. This will allow you to re-load data that you have already entered. It does load previous date/times, etc, so
change as needed prior to submitting. This feature is much like using Firefox and its add-on called Formlet. But now you can use any
browser.
Custom Template Title
Setup
Click to add your agency or group
If in the upper left of the form there is a button labeled SETUP, you can use it to set the form title. This will allow you to customize the
template's title name for your group, agency, whatever. It will stay as such until you change it, or the form is updated via the internet.
Spreadsheet Import
Copy and Paste Data From Spreadsheet
Copy the data from the spreadsheet and paste in box below, then click "Parse Data"
Ensure fields match and entered data does not exceed field lengths, or printed HTML may miss some data.
Paste spreadsheet data here
Parse Data
Some forms will allow you to import data direct into the form from a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet you create must match the
templates field names and sizes.
Clear Activity Log
Clear Activity Log
If present, it allows you to just reset the logged information and not have to re-type all the header info.
Export Data to Spreadsheet Format
Export Data to Spreadsheet Format
A few forms have an Export for spreadsheet button.
The data in the form will be exported as a .xls File with the spreadsheet column header information preceding the data. The format is
TAB delimited.
Programs such as Excel and Open Office/Libre Office can easily read the file.
Save Template Data Prior to Submitting
Some forms will offer the option to save your Template data prior to submitting. If active, you will get a Pop Up asking do you wish to
save or cancel.
More features may be added in the future. For any questions about the form features contact Greg KG6SJT, WDT Primary Form
Writer.
We hope the new changes will find utility and save time on events.
