You build and edit your submission form in the Form Editor. To open it, go to Forms › Forms from the Admin Dashboard and click the pencil-and-box icon (edit) next to the form. You can add, edit, move, copy and delete questions and pages at any time, even after your event is live. Once real submitters have started, hiding a question or page with Always False is safer than deleting it, because deleting also removes its answers. A few settings on some question types, such as deleting multiple-choice options, lock once the form is in use: see Admin - Things to Know About Editing Forms After Live.
This applies to admins working in the Form Editor. Every event comes with one submission form, listed as Signup Form. You can add evaluation forms, but you can't add a second submission form.
Before you start
If your event has several categories (for example scholarships, awards or grants), keep them in one submission form and give each category its own page. The Reviewr team can't merge separate forms later.
Don't add a form of type Other. An Other form can't be used in your event.
Only one person can use the Form Editor at a time. Agree with your team who is editing.
How do I open my form in the Form Editor?
From the Admin Dashboard, hover over Forms (paper icon) in the navigation and select Forms.
Find your submission form in the list (its type shows as Signup Form).
Click the pencil-and-box icon (edit) on the left of the form row. The Form Editor opens with your pages listed in the left side panel.
Make your changes, then click Save in each question or page editor before moving on.
When you're finished, click the open-door icon in the top-left corner to leave the Form Editor so a colleague can open it.
Which task do I need?
Each row names a common Form Editor task and how to do it.
Task | How to do it in the Form Editor |
Add a question | Click the green Add Question button (upper right), choose a question type, click Ok, fill in the question editor and click Save. Or hover over a question and click the plus icon above or below it. See Admin - How do I add, copy or move a question in my form? |
Edit a question | Hover over the question and click the pencil icon. Change the question prompt, Required status and type-specific settings, then click Save. |
Move or copy a question | Hover over the question and use the up and down arrows, or Cut (scissors icon) and Paste to move it to any page. Copy duplicates the question with its settings and visibility conditions. |
Delete a question | Hover over the question, click the red trash-can icon next to the pencil icon, then click Delete. This also deletes its answers in every submission: see Admin - How do I delete a question from my form? |
Hide a question or page | Use the question's Visibility tab, or Page Options › Visibility, and choose Always False. Hiding keeps all answers already collected. |
Delete a page | Click the trash-can icon next to the page title in the left side panel, then click Delete. A form must keep at least one page: see Admin - How do I delete a page from my form? |
Rename the form | Click the pencil icon in the top-left name box (default "New Event Form"), type the name and click the green check mark. |
Rename a page | Click the pencil icon next to the page name in the left side panel, or use Page Options (top right). You can also change the Next and Previous button labels there. Click Save. |
Important: Clicking Cancel in a new question's editor discards the question entirely. Click Save to keep it.
If that didn't work
I deleted a question or page by mistake
Admins can't restore deleted questions or pages. Contact the Reviewr team through the in-app chat, tell them the form and what you deleted, and they'll restore it, along with its answers.
A colleague can't open the form, or edits aren't sticking
Only one user at a time can use the Form Editor. If someone else has the form open, you'll see a message naming them, for example: "Randy Jones (randy@example.org) has had the form checked out in Edit mode since 08:04:07 GMT, last accessed 08:04:07 from the "Form Editor"." You can't open the form until they're done. The lock clears when they leave with the open-door icon in the top-left corner, log out, or their session ends. If they just navigate away, the form stays locked, so ask them to come back and leave with the door icon.
My new question disappeared after I closed the editor
A new question is only kept when you click Save in its question editor. Clicking Cancel deletes it, so add the question again and click Save.
