FAQs
What is a web form?
A web form is a form/survey that is filled out using a web browser as opposed to the SurveyCTO Collect mobile app. Any SurveyCTO form can be a web form. Try it out for yourself with our Web form example.
Where can I find the shareable URL for a web form?
To get the shareable URL for the web form, go to the Collect tab and click Share to the right of the form you wish to share.
Can I translate the web form User Interface (the navigation and buttons) into other languages?
Yes. We provide web form interface translations in English, French, Hindi, or Spanish. If you want the web form interface to appear in another language, you have the ability to translate and install that yourself.
Can I add the web form to my own page/website?
Yes! You can use HTML to embed a SurveyCTO web form onto any web page.
Is it possible to have each user fill out a web form just once?
Yes. You can create one-time web form links to distribute to via email or text using unique links.
