11 Form settings
This step is all about fine-tuning the form’s behavior. We’ll:
- control submission limits and duplicate prevention
- enable pagination
- customize button text
- look at opening and closing dates

00:00:04.000 –> 00:00:05.800
Hi there, welcome back. We’ve looked at
00:00:05.800 –> 00:00:07.600
the design, let’s now look at some
00:00:07.600 –> 00:00:09.920
settings. Again, this is not something
00:00:09.920 –> 00:00:12.080
you have to change, but you might want to
00:00:12.160 –> 00:00:14.160
tweak a few things here and there. And we
00:00:14.160 –> 00:00:15.840
won’t go through every setting, but we’ll
00:00:15.840 –> 00:00:17.520
just look at some highlights that might
00:00:17.520 –> 00:00:20.000
be especially useful for a form.
00:00:20.800 –> 00:00:22.720
To go to settings, click on the cog wheel
00:00:22.720 –> 00:00:25.680
on the left, and here you can
00:00:25.680 –> 00:00:28.200
see all the different categories for the
00:00:28.200 –> 00:00:30.880
different settings. And we’ll go
00:00:30.880 –> 00:00:33.240
through a couple of them. So let’s start
00:00:33.240 –> 00:00:36.080
with the global settings. Pagination is
00:00:36.080 –> 00:00:38.800
something that I really like activating
00:00:39.200 –> 00:00:41.840
because it means that you can see top
00:00:41.840 –> 00:00:44.080
right what page you’re on out of how
00:00:44.080 –> 00:00:46.720
many, and also a bar
00:00:47.360 –> 00:00:49.760
as you go through the different questions
00:00:49.760 –> 00:00:52.720
here. So you could, for example,
00:00:53.360 –> 00:00:55.360
disable the number of questions
00:00:56.160 –> 00:00:58.560
or disable the bar and just halve the
00:00:58.560 –> 00:01:00.920
number of pages, so it’s up to you
00:01:01.360 –> 00:01:03.520
which combination you’d like. I like
00:01:03.520 –> 00:01:06.080
having the bar, but not the numbers, so
00:01:06.080 –> 00:01:08.480
I’ll leave it like that. Okay, you can
00:01:08.480 –> 00:01:11.120
also then choose to disable that
00:01:11.760 –> 00:01:14.440
bar on non-question blocks. For this
00:01:14.440 –> 00:01:16.080
form, I’m happy to have it on all the
00:01:16.080 –> 00:01:18.840
blocks. What I can also do is activate
00:01:18.840 –> 00:01:21.200
this back button here, which means top
00:01:21.200 –> 00:01:22.960
left I now see an arrow and when I click
00:01:22.960 –> 00:01:25.840
on it I can see what I had written
00:01:25.840 –> 00:01:27.280
in the previous or filled out in the
00:01:27.280 –> 00:01:29.520
previous form field.
00:01:30.480 –> 00:01:31.800
The other thing I’d like to look at here
00:01:31.800 –> 00:01:34.520
is text for your
00:01:34.520 –> 00:01:36.720
buttons. By default you have for example
00:01:36.720 –> 00:01:39.560
next and so on but perhaps you want it to
00:01:39.560 –> 00:01:42.160
say something else, for example go on.
00:01:42.160 –> 00:01:45.040
Whatever it is uh you can put that
00:01:45.280 –> 00:01:47.680
in here and it will then appear straight
00:01:47.680 –> 00:01:50.480
away and be in your your Riddle for
00:01:50.800 –> 00:01:53.680
any of those buttons that come
00:01:53.680 –> 00:01:55.040
either once or recur.
00:01:56.080 –> 00:01:58.960
Okay, that’s button text.
00:02:00.160 –> 00:02:03.040
And then perhaps you have a time frame for
00:02:03.040 –> 00:02:05.600
this form, and then you can set an
00:02:05.600 –> 00:02:07.600
opening and closing date. In this use
00:02:07.600 –> 00:02:09.680
case, it’s probably a form that you use
00:02:09.680 –> 00:02:11.360
again and again and again with all your
00:02:11.360 –> 00:02:13.000
new members, so we don’t need an opening
00:02:13.000 –> 00:02:15.120
or closing date, but that’s something you
00:02:15.120 –> 00:02:17.920
can enable. Remember, users
00:02:18.000 –> 00:02:19.920
in this case isn’t necessary because they
00:02:19.920 –> 00:02:21.600
are filling the form out for the first
00:02:21.600 –> 00:02:24.000
time, and it might be the only time that
00:02:24.000 –> 00:02:26.280
you use this form. On the other hand, you
00:02:26.280 –> 00:02:28.600
may have other Riddles that also require
00:02:28.600 –> 00:02:31.360
a name,an email field,
00:02:31.680 –> 00:02:34.480
for example, and then you might want to
00:02:34.480 –> 00:02:37.000
activate remember users via cookies so
00:02:37.000 –> 00:02:38.640
that if they are filling out another
00:02:38.640 –> 00:02:40.720
Riddle, then they don’t have to fill out
00:02:40.720 –> 00:02:42.400
their details again. So this can be
00:02:42.400 –> 00:02:44.800
really useful. Then
00:02:45.360 –> 00:02:48.240
once they have that, this would also
00:02:48.240 –> 00:02:50.960
appear here, so an automatic
00:02:51.200 –> 00:02:53.760
message that means your
00:02:54.160 –> 00:02:57.040
participants have to agree
00:02:57.120 –> 00:02:59.520
to their data being stored.
00:03:00.400 –> 00:03:02.440
The next sections we have, branding and
00:03:02.440 –> 00:03:05.160
monetization, can be applied to
00:03:05.280 –> 00:03:08.200
your Riddle as always with logos, with
00:03:08.640 –> 00:03:11.440
footers, and also with
00:03:11.440 –> 00:03:14.160
ads above or below your your Riddle
00:03:14.160 –> 00:03:16.840
blocks. What might be useful for us to
00:03:16.840 –> 00:03:19.120
look at is block results.
00:03:19.920 –> 00:03:21.600
This is where you can
00:03:22.160 –> 00:03:24.920
disable some of or all of the audience
00:03:25.360 –> 00:03:27.760
totals that appear after each answer. In
00:03:27.760 –> 00:03:29.040
our case it’s not really necessary
00:03:29.040 –> 00:03:30.480
because they don’t appear in the blocks
00:03:30.480 –> 00:03:32.840
that we’ve been using but with some
00:03:32.840 –> 00:03:35.600
blocks you have the or can have
00:03:36.240 –> 00:03:38.000
the statistics of how many people and
00:03:38.000 –> 00:03:40.560
what percentage of people voted for a
00:03:40.720 –> 00:03:43.440
specific answer or chose a specific
00:03:43.440 –> 00:03:46.360
choice umm and here you can
00:03:46.360 –> 00:03:49.120
switch those off because it’s a form in
00:03:49.120 –> 00:03:51.440
my opinion we don’t really need them so
00:03:52.480 –> 00:03:54.200
just to be safe. If you do have any
00:03:54.200 –> 00:03:56.960
blocks where you can see audience totals
00:03:56.960 –> 00:03:58.960
afterwards you can disable that.
00:03:59.760 –> 00:04:01.760
Okay, so we’re done with the settings for
00:04:01.760 –> 00:04:04.520
our form. In the next video we’ll
00:04:04.520 –> 00:04:06.960
look at the integrations you can set up
00:04:06.960 –> 00:04:08.960
for the data that you’re collecting here
00:04:09.520 –> 00:04:11.240
and as always if you have any questions
00:04:11.280 –> 00:04:13.520
feel free to ask us and I’ll see you in
00:04:13.520 –> 00:04:14.160
the next step.
