Webforms
A Webform is an online form that can collect ungraded information from authenticated users. Webforms are highly flexible and can be used in a variety of contexts across your EthosCE site.
Common Uses for Webforms
End-of-course evaluations — Collect learner feedback after completing a course to assess quality, relevance, and overall satisfaction.
Post-assessment surveys — Gather responses after a quiz or exam to understand the learner experience.
General surveys — Poll your audience on topics relevant to your organization or continuing education programs.
Contact / inquiry forms — Provide a way for users to reach out with questions or requests without needing to email directly.
Needs assessments — Gather data from your audience to help shape future educational offerings.
Creating a Webform
Step 1: Create the Webform
From the top navigation bar, click + New.
In the dropdown menu that appears, scroll to the bottom of the list and click Webform.
On the Create Webform page, enter a Title for your webform.
Optionally, select an existing webform from the Available webforms dropdown under Webform Template to copy its fields as a starting point.
Click Save at the bottom right of the page.
Step 2: Build Your Form
After saving, you will be taken to the Webform tab where you can begin building your form. This tab contains four sub-sections:
Form components — Add, arrange, and manage the fields that make up your form. Enter a name for your new component, select a field type (e.g., Textfield, Select, Grid), and click Add to include it. Fields you add will appear in the components list with their label, form key, type, and required status.
Conditionals — Set up logic rules to show or hide fields based on a learner's previous answers.
E-mails — Configure automatic email notifications to be sent when a form is submitted, either to an administrator or to the learner.
Form settings — Control submission behavior, confirmation messages, access permissions, and other form-level options.
Tip: You can return to any of these sub-sections at any time by navigating to the webform and clicking the Webform tab.
