Form Templates
There are two types of form templates; templates we’ve created for you and those you publish yourself. Users must be logged-in to to use templates.
Publishing Your Own Templates
You can make any of your existing forms into a template that you can then use as a starting point when creating a different form. The forms you publish will be available to all users on www.frevvo.com, or (if you are using the download version) , to all form designers in your company).
From the Forms home page, click the Publish icon next to the name of the form you want to publish as a template.
The Publish Template wizard contains the following fields:
- Template Name – This defaults to the name of your form. You can keep this name or overlay it with a different one.
- Tags – In this field type – Type at least one tag that will help you quickly find your template. Type Type as many tags as you like; if you type more than one, separate them with a comma . Your tag may be more than one word.or a space.
- Categories - Click on the category you want to assign the form to.
- Description – This defaults to the form’s description. Keep this description or overlay it with a different oneEnter a description of your form that will display when Forms By Category or Forms By Tag is selected.
Click Submit to publish your template or click Reset to clear the three fields and start over. If you change your mind and don’t want to publish your template, click the X to close the form. After you publish a template, you and all other logged-in users can use it.

Custom themes are not carried along with published templates unless they are a Global Theme and the theme was selected in the form's properties. |
Using Your Own Template
To use a template when creating a new form, click Templates > the Templates tab on the Forms Home Page. Choose Forms by Category or Templates > Forms by Tag from ' main menu. which display along with Controls by Category and Controls by Tag.
You’ll see the categories or tags you created when you published your templates. Some tags are in larger font; this means you’ve used these tags for more than one template. Click any category or tag to display a list of matching templates.
After the list of matching templates is displayed, you can:
- Test the template by clicking (the Try icon)— the template displays as a fully functional form so you can enter and validate data before deciding whether you want to use it.
- Use the template in a new form by clicking (the Add icon). By definition since this is a template you will be able to use it in as many forms as you want. Once you’ve used it to create your form, you can customize your form without ever affecting the template.Email the template by clicking (the EMail icon). This launches a new message in your default email system. The email message includes a link to the template, which the recipient can view and test.
If you choose to add the template, you’ll be walked through a wizard that allows you to make minor modifications before your new form is launched. If you like your template exactly as it is, skip the wizard by clicking Finish. This is the same wizard you see when you create a new form without using a template.
