Stanford Web Forms Service Features

From Web Services Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This page keeps track of features that we are working on for the Stanford Web Forms Service, those that have been recently completed, the next set of features to implement and feature requests. If you'd like to request some features, please add them to the bottom of the Feature Requests section. We can't promise all requests will be fulfilled, of course, but we'll try to do our best to make this the most useful tool out there for building forms at Stanford.

Contents

Recently Added Features

  • Allow re-ordering of fields while editing a form by dragging and dropping
  • Provide upload field and browse button for submitting .pdf, .doc, .xls files
  • When we receive the email notification, be able to reply to the sender directly. Currently, it is showing nobody@stanford.edu. (Maybe set Reply To:) - Add a checkbox to use the SUNetID of the user (so the form needs to be behind webauth), or to use a required email field for the From: field. Make this optional as this change might break some people's workflow.
  • Ability to enter the SUNetIDs of people you want to share the form with. Ideally, use workgroups. (Note: not all functions will be available to people added this way as they might not have permissions to publish the form to all the same locations as the creator of the form).
