Formulator.NET is a free Form Builder for ASP.NET that enables
you to create a wide range of forms on-the-fly for Internet and Intranet
websites. Create Web forms easily with the Form Wizard, and customize the logic
for how your administrative users manage form submissions. When you build a
form with Formulator.NET, a full-featured administrative system is already in
place to help you manage submissions, complete with an easy-to-use interface
for viewing, modifying and performing other tasks on submissions such as
changing statuses, adding comments, reassigning work, and tracking each
submission's history. Search submissions based on a vast array of filters, or
quickly locate a submission by simply supplying its reference number.
This free form builder has been used to quickly develop applications such as
Web-based Employment Applications, Task Tracking, Help Desk Trouble Ticket and
Loaner Reservation systems – systems which could otherwise take a programmer
weeks to develop.

Create custom roles
which can be used to further restrict admin users from performing certain
tasks, such as deleting submissions.
-
Manage Custom Templates and upload
your own stylesheets to make the forms’ look-and-feel
consistent with your Website’s design. (Simply upload your
HTML, or create it in the Rich-Text WYSIWYG editor.)*
-
Make a form live or take it offline with the click of a button.

questions, or answer controls; thus, showing or hiding each
item based on user input from previous questions.*
-
Create a Workflow, thus assigning each submission to
administrative users based on their roles and the submission’s current status.
-
Create Status Sets
to apply to forms; e.g., an Employment Application system might have a status
set including the following statuses: Received, Reviewed, Interviewed,
Background Checked, Hired, and On File.
-
Send Autoresponse emails
to users when the form is submitted.
-
Send an Email notification
to the form owner when a submission is received with the submission results,
and/or save the data to the database.
-
Submissions enter administrative users’ Work Queues
which behave similarly to email inboxes and can be managed easily from the
admin tool.
-
Perform tasks on submissions such as Reassigning the work to
another admin user, changing the Status, adding Comments,
Editing
the submission data, or deleting the submission.
-
View Submission History
which records all status changes, assignments, and comments.
-
Assign multiple response types
to a single question; e.g., The question, “What is the city and state in which
you reside?” may have two fields – one text field for the user to enter the
city name and one dropdown list with the state codes.
-
Specify which response fields are Required Fields.
-
Determine Control Types for each response: Dropdownlists,
Textboxes, Radiobuttons, Checkboxes,
Rich-Text WYSIWYG editor*, Text Area,
Listboxes, Date Control,
File Upload*, and Numeric Input.
-
Automatically assign Reference Numbers
to submissions and quickly find a submission based on the reference number.
-
Add date, Web link and email controls
with validation (complete with a calendar pop up for the date
control).
-
Use data from external sources
(i.e., another database on the server) to populate dropdownlists with answer
options or upload responses from a csv file.
-
Search Submissions
and Filter by date, assignee, status, or question responses.
-
Admin Homepage
displays most recent projects, most active projects, and the most recently
submissions in the user’s Work Queues.

application and begin building forms.
