1. The Canvas: Drag-and-Drop Intuition
The core of "Form Design Made Simple" is the visual editor. Instead of writing code or navigating deep sub-menus, you treat the
form like a digital canvas.
- Spatial Awareness: You can place fields exactly where
you want them. If you need a signature box in the bottom right, you simply
drag it there.
- Instant Resizing: Handles on every field allow you to
stretch or shrink elements to fit your layout, ensuring the form looks
identical on the screen as it will on a printed PDF.
- No "Preview" Loop: Because the editor is "What You See
Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG), there is no need to constantly toggle between
"Design Mode" and "User Mode."
2. Versatile Field Types (Beyond Simple Text)
Simplicity doesn't mean a lack of power. FormConnect Pro provides a
toolbox of smart fields that do the heavy lifting for you:
Digital Signatures
Captures authorization instantly without needing to print/scan.
Photo Attachments
Allows you to embed visual proof directly into the record.
Dropdown/Pickers
Eliminates typing errors by giving users predefined choices.
GPS & Date Stamps
Automatically logs location and time without manual entry.
Calculated Fields
Performs math (totals, tax, etc.) automatically as data is entered.
3. Aesthetic Control Without the Effort
A professional-looking form builds trust. FormConnect Pro allows you
to customize the "skin" of your form without requiring a degree in
graphic design.
- Brand Integration: Easily drop in your company logo and
adjust font colors to match your brand identity.
- Clean Layouts: Use line and box tools to group related
information, making the form easier for the end-user to navigate and complete.
- Template Library: You don't always have to start from
scratch. You can clone existing forms or use built-in templates to get
a 90% head start on a new project.
4. The "Fill Once, Use Everywhere" Workflow
Form design isn't just about how the form looks—it's about where the
data goes. FormConnect Pro simplifies the output process:
- Universal Export: Once a form is designed and filled,
you can distribute it as a PDF, CSV, XML, or HTML file.
- Pro+ Syncing: If you are using the Pro+ version,
your designed forms automatically sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac,
ensuring you always have the latest version of your design in your pocket.
- Offline Capability: The design remains functional even
without an internet connection, making it ideal for field work in remote
areas.
The Bottom Line
FormConnect Pro simplifies design by focusing on the "User Experience"
of the creator. It assumes you are an expert in your business, not an
expert in software development.
