Each [[Web Form]] consists of three elements:
* '''Settings''' that define the overall form – these settings consist of the presentation templates for the form, ways you wish to present the results and any [[Workflow|workflow]] that you wish to associate with the form.
* '''Pages''' – each web form is made up from one or more pages of questions. Each page will be presented separately when you complete the form. Every [[Web Form]] must have at least one page.
* '''Questions''' – any number of individual questions of different types. You add the questions to each page.

In this article, you will create a training assessment form. This form will consist of two pages:
* The '''first''' page will display a combo box containing the instructor names, another containing the sources, and a calendar to select the date.
* The '''second''' page displays the scaled question using a 1 to 5 scale.

First you will create a form, then the two pages and finally the questions.

The '''Form Options''' window consists of the following options:

* '''Name''' - Name of the Web form.
* '''Merchant Number''' - The internet secure merchant number required to use e-commerce.
* '''Category''' - Category in which the form is categorized.
* '''Introduction''' - Instruction for the [[User|user]] completing the form. These instructions will be displayed on the first page.
* '''Workflow''' - Associates a [[Workflow|workflow]] to the form. When the form is completed, the [[Workflow|workflow]] will be launched.
* '''Allow Anonymous''' - Specifies that the form can be completed without being associated with a specific [[SmartSimple]] contact. If you display the form on the Internet without specifying this option, the [[User|user]] will be prompted to login and complete the form. The login template will be used to present a login page – the standard login pages will not be displayed.
* '''Once Only''' - Form can only be filled once.
* '''Enabled Results''' - Defines the amount of information that can be displayed to users that do not have the manager permission for [[Web Form|Web forms]].

'''None''' – indicates that result information should be displayed.

'''Chart Only''' – indicates that a chart can be displayed.

'''Table Only''' – indicates that the summary results will be displayed in a tabular form.

'''Both''' – indicates that a [[User|user]] can see a chart and table.

Unless the [[User|user]] has manager permission, they cannot see individual results.

* '''Allow Result Changes''' - If you wish to provide the person that originally completed the form the ability to change the answers at a later date, select this option.
* '''Internet Form URL''' - [[External web]] link to [[Web Form]]. Use this option if you want to connect a form to your web site.
* '''Email Broadcast Link''' - [[External]] web link to [[Web Form]]. Use this option if you want to send a link to the form in an email and automatically associate the contact’s email address with the [[Web Form]].
* '''Internet Results Chart URL''' - [[External]] web link to summary results chart.
* '''Internet Result Table URL''' - [[External]] web link to summary results table.
* '''Forms Template''' - HTML template used to display the pages and questions.
* '''Result Page Template''' - HTML template to results page – this page could contain the summary chart, table, or both.
* '''Confirmation Variables''' - Sample of how to reference a question in a result page.
* '''Confirmation Template''' - HTML template for the information to be displayed to the person completing the form.
* '''Login Page Template''' - HTML template for a login if the form is not '''Anonymous'''.
