Latest Release (8/1/2008)

We are proud to announce the 10th Anniversary Release of FormSite! Our overall goal for this release has been to improve on the form creation process. The Edit Area has been modernized and now utilizes drag and drop functionality. By employing drag and drop, the creation process is now quicker and more intuitive. Using advanced AJAX techniques, we have greatly increased the speed of creating forms - no longer do you have to wait for the form to reload each time you add an item. Besides the new and improved Edit Area, there has been a multitude of other enhancements to FormSite. Please see the list below for all new features.

  • New documentation highlighting key features of FormSite
