  • A form consists of pages.
  • Pages contain elements that are either questions, layout elements or structure elements.
  • A form and its elements can contain rules, validations and calculations.

  • A form can have multiple versions created through the design process.
  • Each form version will have its own set of captured data.
  • A form must have a version published to allow users to enter data in it.
  • Only one version of a form can be published at a given time.
  • Zegeba app users will only see published forms in the app.
  • Forms are grouped in folders.
  • You cannot create folders within a folder.
  • You can copy or export a folder or a form.
  • You can export the data captured in a form to an Excel or .CSV format file.
  • You can generally not copy the data captured to another form or form version.
    There is one exception to this: users of the app’s Tasks module can copy captured data from one report to another.
    Read more about this in Using: 4.7 Copying a task form report.
  • From Zegeba v 4.4, you can move a form and its data from one folder to another.
  • From Zegeba v 4.4, you can archive a folder, a form, a form version and its data, or just a single data capture. This can later be unarchived.

Tech info
Forms are defined through a declarative JSON document format which is used by Zegeba components to run or design a form.
