Forms
This module allows you to create custom forms for your Space. For example, this would be a great tool if you needed to collect nominations or if you wanted to survey your members. Creating a form will create a new page for your space. If you would like the form to appear on the Menu Bar, copy its page address and create a Menu page with the form linked to it. You can also add the form as a hyperlink on an existing page. In addition to customizing the page with the Designer, there are numerous field options you can leverage, including indicating which fields are required.
- Checkbox - Users can either check or uncheck this field. For example, "I agree to receive email communications."
- Currency - Users will only be able to enter a currency (USD only right now) into this field.

- Header - Group a set of fields together.
- Instructions - Provide instructions for filling out the form or a section of the form.
- Memo - Use this when you want to give the user free text space. There is no limit on the number of characters they can submit.
- Number - Users will only be able to enter whole numbers into this field.
- Percentage - Users will only be able to enter in a percentage into this field.
- Phone - Users will only be able to enter in a phone number including area code to this field. It is currently set to US and Canada telephone format.
