Participants submit a request for an account which is then added to a list of potential accounts. If the account is rejected, a comment is sent specifying what action needs to be performed. If the account is accepted, an entry for that user is made in the password file and the Email sent to the user includes the account name and a generated password. The user can build a survey by selecting from existing questions, adding a new question, or modifying existing question, including the creation of labeled checkboxes, radio-buttons or open text fields. When the form is displayed on the Web, users fill in responses which then are collected as the data.
Most forms just record the data from the questions to which a user responds.
These forms also code the questions so that a report can be generated with percentages and other statistical measures related to all questions on the survey, including whether they answered or not. For example, if you wanted to list all the current users of a site's web environment, the Web page will have a selection to request a list of all current users and the script will automatically retrieve the list of current users. In addition, users can create automatically formatted web pages by completing a Web-based forms, without any HTML knowledge. Students could input articles into the form directly and the form would process the article resulting in an automatically formatted newspaper-like web page. Moreover, it also makes volunteering for such relationships much more attractive to talented people in business and industry because a substantial part of their involvement can be undertaken at times and places that are both flexible and convenient.
