Form Builder
Last edited 9/30/2020
The Form Builder is a versatile tool available to all Tentaroo clients to collect information in a myriad of ways beyond the Event and Facilities Modules. Forms can be embedded in a Tentaroo website or minisite to share directly with your customers.
Browse the menu on this page for more information about setting up and managing forms.
When to Use the Form Builder
Tentaroo Form Builder is designed to help with events that don't fit the main registration system in the Events Module, such as fundraising dinners. It can also be used non-event uses like camp applications.
Common uses of the Form Builder include:
- Donations
- Camp Staff Applications
- Fundraising Dinners or Events
- Awards Banquets
- Product Sales
- RSVPs
- Surveys
However, Form Builder is not recommended for Scouting event registrations that would be better supported by the Events Module. Rather than trying to build an event registration from scratch in the Form Builder, you'll be better off using the main registration system in the Events module which will guide users through the process and provide necessary reports and notifications.
