Online
Issue Tracking
Forms Database is an online issue tracking
service that allows you to distribute forms on the internet, assign
them to staff within your organization, and view detailed reports
of their activity. Forms Database makes managing forms simple and
provides customers quick access to information without the need to
contact your support staff directly. By establishing an automated
solution to managing customer feedback forms, organizations can
take advantage of storing submitted data in a single repository.
This makes retrieving and reporting form activity simple and
efficient. With Forms Database, there is no limit to the variety of
forms you can create.
Comprehensive Form Management
For example, City Management needs to implement a comprehensive
system to manage citizen code enforcement complaints. Forms
Database allows them to develop a custom form for each type of code
enforcement violation and then route the submissions throughout the
organization. Another business might want to develop a customer
service center, while another focuses on pay per click advertising
leads. These are just some examples of how Forms Database can be
used. The common thread between all of these is Forms
Database’s ability to create custom forms, save the
submissions in a database, and route the data to the appropriate
party.
Form Design
Creating the form is simple and can be done in any HTML
environment. As you build the form, the input fields are
strategically named as they will eventually be used to dynamically
generate a database to store the form submissions.
Add a Form and Set Assignees
Next, you will upload the form in Forms Database along with a
return page which will display after the form is submitted. After
designating the form and return page, you then have the option to
choose who will receive the form data upon submission. The form
data can be routed via one of two ways: you can either create an
assignment that must be closed out and can be reported on or you
can set the results to be carbon copied to someone who wants to be
aware of all activity on the form.
Automatic Database Creation
Quite possibly, the most powerful features of Forms Database is its
ability to dynamically generate SQL tables based on a designed HTML
form. As you design the form and upload it into the Solodev system,
a table is created.
Assignments Overview
As forms are assigned throughout your organization, they will
appear in the assignments overview screen. In Forms Database, this
screen is available when you first log in making management of form
submissions a top priority. Simply click on the assignment ID to be
handled and you will be forwarded to the assignment detail
screen.

Assignments Details
Assignments display the time of submission, author, tracking
number, current user assignments, and the assignment status.
You have the option to update the original submission, add
attachments, respond to the submission, or assign it another member
of your organization.
Reports Generation
Forms Database has been designed with department managers in mind.
While staff members keep up with day-to-day submissions, the report
options allow management to create performance dashboards that
indicate the timeframes for which customer requests are being
handled. You will clearly be able to see who is handling
submissions and the efficiency in which they are being
processed.
