How to create a Web form
Before creating a Web form, please be sure to check the “Deciding what to collect on a web form" document to ensure privacy and security to gather information from users.
The Web form content type is similar to the web page content type.
When creating a Web form you will be required to enter a Heading, and have the option of including form help or instructions in the Body or Sidebar Complimentary area.
You can also upload an image or file into these areas.
The Audience, Menu, URL and Publishing options are located at the bottom of the page and function in the same manner as Web pages.
Note: Moderation states include Published and Unpublished.
