PurposeLearn & use VauForms
User-focused documentation: this guide explains VauForms from the perspective of the person creating, sharing or responding to a form.
01
Updated end-to-end workflow
Use this sequence when creating a real form for your business or team.
01
Create
Open the Dashboard, choose Create Form and give the form a meaningful name.
Expected result
The editor opens with your new form.
02
Build
Add only the fields you actually need and remove unnecessary questions.
Expected result
The form collects the right information.
03
Configure field rules
Mark essential questions Required. For text fields, set Maximum characters where useful. For Checkboxes, choose up to two choices and decide between Only one or Both allowed.
Expected result
Respondent input follows clear field-level rules.
04
Organize and design
Arrange questions, use Sections/Dividers where helpful and keep labels concise.
Expected result
The form becomes easier to complete.
05
Open Settings
Use the dedicated Settings workspace for Access & responses, Confirmation and Appearance.
Expected result
Global form behavior is configured in one place.
06
Set access and response rules
Choose Require Vau Account, Collect email, Show progress, Multiple responses and an optional total Response limit. Leave Response limit blank for unlimited submissions.
Expected result
The form follows the collection policy you want.
07
Configure confirmation and appearance
Write the after-submission title/message, review its preview, choose Classic/Soft/Minimal and set the primary color.
Expected result
The respondent experience is consistent before and after submission.
08
Save Settings
Use Save changes and confirm the Settings screen reports Saved.
Expected result
The live form can use the latest configuration.
09
Test
Use Preview/Test. Try required fields, text near its character limit, both checkbox modes and any file upload.
Expected result
You catch rule or wording problems before respondents do.
10
Publish and Share
Publish the finished form and use Share to distribute the public link.
Expected result
People can open the correct live form.
11
Collect
Respondents complete the form. If a total Response limit is reached, VauForms stops accepting additional responses.
Expected result
Collection obeys the configured cap.
12
Review
Open View Responses to read answers, respondent identity and supported attachments.
Expected result
You can act on the information collected.
13
Clean up safely
When a form is no longer needed, Delete moves it to Trash. Restore it if needed or permanently delete it only after confirming it is no longer required.
Expected result
Old forms are managed without accidental immediate destruction.
02
Improve after real use
After receiving responses, review whether people misunderstand any question or rule. Update wording, limits or settings, test again and then continue sharing.
