What is Form Login?

The Form Login feature allows users to create accounts that are associated with their form results. A user can use their account to save a partial result and return later to finish, or to view past results.

Login Accounts

To enable Form Login, edit your form and add a Form Login item, from the Specialty Items category. You can also directly enable or disable Form Login on the "Form->Form Login" page. You can allow users to create their own accounts, or manually create accounts.

To manually create user accounts, click the "Simple Add" tab and enter information in the appropriate boxes. Each account must have a username and password, email is optional. The "Bulk Add" tab allows you to create a large number of accounts in CSV format.
