How do I create a Default Form?

Learn how to configure the basic elements of a Default Form for your district or school. 

Please note: this article is primarily for users with a System Admin role.

Users with the System Admin role can create a Default Form that will act as a template for new forms that are added in Grow.

The Default Form Setup Page, is where the Layout and Settings of the Default Form can be edited. These settings will be used on all new forms that are created in this district. 

Note: Existing Forms will not be affected by this new Default Form. 

In order to do this, users will click Config>>Forms.

Users will then click the Default Form Setup button.

Form Layout

This is how your Default Form will appear to your observers. On the left side of this page, you’ll see all of your Available Widgets, which will include any widgets that have been turned on in System Settings. You can drag and drop widgets between the three sections interchangeably.

Form Settings

This is where System Admin users can fine tune and customize how a Form will behave for a given district starting with General Settings. 

The Scoring and Privacy section contains the settings that determine how forms display numeric data for the observee. 

The Menu Settings section contains all of the "hide" settings that would prevent certain users from accessing and starting a submission. 

The Metadata Settings all come from the 'Observations' section of the metadata page. If turned on, they will appear as toggles in the Observation Details section of all observations.
