Click the Test icon  to display your form in “Use Mode”—in other words, the form will appear in a popup window and behave exactly as it will when users access it. To test the form, just complete it as your users would and click Submit. 

On This Page:

Test Mode Views

There are three icons in Test mode that you can use to see what your form will look like and how it will work on an iPhone or an iPad. Theses icons appear at the top of the screen - desktop, tablet and smart phone. The default view is desktop.

Clicking on the the tablet and smart phone icons gives you an approximate view of the form on the tablet or phone. You can enter data in the Phone and Tablet views just like you can in the Desktop view to test your form. This is very helpful when designing forms for mobile devices.

 

 

Tablet and Phone views are not precise and there may be slight differences when rendered on the actual device. It is highly recommended that you test the form on the actual device to be certain.

Testing Your Form

Each time you supply a value in a control,  sends an asynchronous request to the server to validate the data. This means users do not have to complete the entire form before discovering data was entered incorrectly—try to type letters in a number control, for example, and you’ll immediately see an error message. And, if your form includes rules that are associated with a particular control, the server will apply these rules as soon as users enter data in the control. For example, perhaps your form has a rule that enables the “Guest Name” control when you select the Yes radio button in the “Are You Bringing a Guest?”. In this case the Guest Name control will be enabled immediately--while you are still completing the form!  

Any time you or your users access a form, the Submit button will be disabled until valid data has been supplied in all required fields. The Submit button also will be disabled if you supply invalid data in a field that is not required.  

When you are done testing and are ready to roll out your form, mark it public via the  icon and make it available by sharing it.

Forms can be translated to multiple languages using the internationalization feature which enables you to easily localize your forms for target audiences that vary in culture, region and language.  supports localization from the browser's locale setting.

You can test the translation files you create and upload into  by clicking the  test  icon on the Internationalization screen or you can use the  &locale URL parameter  to initialize the form with other languages. See Multi Language Support for details on creating translations and testing locale translations .
