I. HTML Form Page Conversion
If you have a created an HTML form (from scratch or with the use of an HTML editor - e.g. MS Frontpage)
and would like to use our service, this is the option for you. If HTML is a foreign language to you, we
suggest using our form generation tool ( click Create Your Own Custom HTML Form - Help ).

This is an automated tool that will convert any form based HTML to work with our system.
The tool will also allow you to define field validation edits as well as let you to define
fields that are required. There is no manual intervention required.

Instruction/Rules are defined in the next section.




I. HTML Form Page Conversion - A. Instructions (Rules)
Follow the instructions/rules below to convert a form for the first time or to make
modifications to an existing form:

1) The form page you wish to convert must be a file, accessible to you, with an .html or .htm extension.
2) Select the HTML file, from your hard drive, by using the button.
3) Your page must have valid FORM start and end tags, and at least one form input field.
    For a list of input types & definitions click: Glossary
4) Only one FORM statement is allowed per page.
5) 150 maximum form input fields are allowed.
6) Only one PASSWORD input type and one FILE input type are allowed per form.
7) Use meaningful/descriptive INPUT field names.
    These names will label the data you receive from your clients.
8) If possible, remove any javascript. It could conflict with our javascript edits.

Important Note: Be sure to save your original HTML Form Page file in order to apply modifications.
Make modifications by updating your original HTML as needed and running it through the conversion.




I. HTML Form Page Conversion - B. Field Required & Field Edits
Field Required & Field Edits:

Example: *Phone:   Member's Phone Number

  Required
      If this switch is set to Yes, your client is required to enter some text in this text field.
      Also, a red asterisk will be displayed to the left of the label indicating this is a required field.
      In the example above the red asterisk to the left of the label indicates phone is a required field.
      Clients will not be able to submit the form without entering a phone number.
      Use this switch with caution, some fields are better left alone: e.g. every client will not have a middle initial.
  Edits
      If this switch is set to anything besides "none", it will require your client to enter text that conforms to the selected edit.
      Here are the available edits:
      Numbers Only
          If this edit is invoked, clients are only able to enter numbers & 1 decimal point.
          Use this with text fields like salary, price, amount, weight etc...
      Valid Date
          If this edit is invoked, clients are only able to enter a valid date in the format of MM/DD/YYYY.
          MM (month) must be between 01 & 12, DD (day) must be between 01 & 31 and YYYY (year) must be four digits like 1984.
          Use this with text fields like birth date, expiration date, application date etc...
      Valid E-mail
          If this edit is invoked, clients are only able to enter a valid e-mail address in the format of yourname@yourdomain.com.
          E-mail is the only text field this edit should be used with.

Note: To change any of these setting after your initial conversion, you must re-convert the original HTML form page.




I. HTML Form Page Conversion - C. Image Path Conversion
Image Path Conversion

In order to keep your form page 100% secure, we give you the ability to upload your images
to our secure servers. In conjunction with uploading your images, first a conversion of your
image paths, to point to our directory structure, is necessary. This conversion requires no
manual intervention. The system automatically detects that you have images in your HTML,
and prompts you to convert them. Simply click the 'Convert image paths' radio button on the
'Field Edits' page.

If you selected the 'Convert image paths' radio button, you will be prompted to upload images
on the 'Download HTML' page and again on the 'Conversion/Settings' page. Simply click the
button to get started. Click here for more image upload detail 3. Image Update.




I. HTML Form Page Conversion - D. Javascript Edits
Javascript Edits

When required fields and/or field edits are selected from the 'Field Edits' page (during conversion), javascript will
be added to your form page to support those functions. Sometimes this javascript will conflict with any existing Javascript
code. This is why it is recommended that you remove all existing javascript from your original HTML form page before
conversion.




II. Hosting Options & Form Placement
Options for where your form page should reside.

If you are handling sensitive information( e.g. credit card, social security number etc...);
need a secure site; and your web hosting company does not provide this service, then hosting
your form with us is ideal. However, if your information is not of a sensitive nature, using
your web hosting company's servers could be beneficial.

right click the link under the 'View/Replace HTML Form' section. The link will looks something like this:
https://www.elbowspace.com/servlets/frhclientformdisplayCONVERTED?xr4=&formts=2005-01-15 10:10:10.999001

b) In the resulting window click 'Save Target As ...'

    This file will be saved on your computer based on the file path you selected in the 'Save In:' box.

Important Note: When hosting the HTML Form Page on another server, be sure to select the

VI. Conversion/Settings - B. Link Test

Link Test

After creating your form, perform a quick test by clicking the link, found under the 'View/Replace HTML Form' section
of the 'Conversion/Settings' page. The link will looks something like this:
https://www.elbowspace.com/servlets/frhclientformdisplayCONVERTED?xr4=&formts=2005-01-15 10:10:10.999001

This test will be no different than what your users will submit after the link has gone live.
The data will be captured or emailed in the same way. The edits on the form will be the same. For
this reason, we are suggesting the following testing guidelines.

Testing Guidelines:

1) After clicking the test link and generating the form page, begin entering data.
2) At first we suggest leaving required fields blank, entering letters in 'numbers only' fields,
    entering invalid email address etc... to test your edits. You should receive a small
    pop up page or a full size error page (with a stop sign), explaining the error, for
    every one of these invalid conditions.
3) Next, we suggest entering valid test data. Enter data that you will not confuse with
    your user's entries. E.g. for name use John Doe, city anytown USA etc...
4) The next step is data validation. From the main menu click '1. View & Download Client Data',
    select your form from the list and review your data from the 'Client Form Data' page.
    If you opted to have your data sent to email, simply validate your data from your email account.




VI. Conversion/Settings - C. Thank You Page Setting

Thank You Page Setting

This setting is truly about what you would like your client to see after submitting the form.
There are three settings available:




VI. Conversion/Settings - C. Thank You Page Setting - 1. I have my own thank you page

I have my own thank you page

This selection is very flexible. You can enter almost any URL and your users will receive that page
upon form submission.




VI. Conversion/Settings - C. Thank You Page Setting - 2. Elbowspace.com default thank you page

Elbowspace.com default thank you page

The default thank you page is a very simple page containing the following elements:

1) The same custom header created for your form page including the form title.
2) The phrase 'You information has been received'.
3) On the next line the phrase 'Thank you' in big bold letters.
4) And finally, a link back to your homepage.

Note: There is a link to the default page next to the selection. This allows you to
view before you select.




VI. Conversion/Settings - D. Data Collection Setting

Data Collection Setting

How would you like to access your client's responses? Would you like them sent to you by email or
would you like to download them from our secure servers? There are three settings available:




VI. Conversion/Settings - D. Data Collection Setting - 1. View Via Elbowspace Site No E-mail Notification

View Via Elbowspace Site No E-mail Notification

Selecting this option triggers our system to begin storing your client's
responses (data) on our databases. We retain this information for one full
year. There are several methods of retrieving this information securely from
our servers (see B. View & Download Client Data).

Advantages:

1) Because there is no email notification, this option provides faster response time to
    your users.
2) Data collection is 100% secure.
3) View a collection of data records (25 per page) all at once or view one data record,
    in a formatted page, at a time.
4) Print a formatted page data record directly from your browser.
5) Import formatted page data record into Microsoft Word(TM), with the option of modifying
    the document. (e.g. add a signature line)
6) Download data records to a delimited file of various formats. Use this file to upload
    into an application or spreadsheet.
7) Search for data records by date of entry.

Disadvantages:

1) No email notification, you must login to see if there are any user responses.




VI. Conversion/Settings - D. Data Collection Setting - 2. View Via Elbowspace Site + E-mail Notification

View Via Elbowspace Site + E-mail Notification

Selecting this option triggers our system to begin storing your client's
responses (data) on our databases. We retain this information for one full
year. There are several methods of retrieving this information securely from
our servers (see B. View & Download Client Data).

One daily notification email will be sent to you, only if your users have
made at least one response throughout the day. We decided not to send an email
per occurrence (response), because this would adversely impact the response time
to your user.

Important Note: No user data will be sent via email using this option. The email
will contain the form title and a message telling you that you have at least one user
response waiting in the queue.

Advantages:

1) Because email notifications are done, once a day, in batch mode, this option provides faster
    response time to your users.
2) Data collection is 100% secure.
3) View a collection of data records (25 per page) all at once or view one data record,
    in a formatted page, at a time.
4) Print a formatted page data record directly from your browser.
5) Import formatted page data record into Microsoft Word(TM), with the option of modifying
    the document. (e.g. add a signature line)
6) Download data records to a delimited file of various formats. Use this file to upload
    into an application or spreadsheet.
7) Search for data records by date of entry.

Disadvantages:

1) Only one email notification per day. If your business requires you to turn around responses
    (or purchases) more often than once a day, you must login to become aware of new user responses.




VI. Conversion/Settings - D. Data Collection Setting - 3. Receive Data Via E-mail Only

Receive Data Via E-mail Only

Selecting this option triggers an email to be sent (*to the email address of you choice)
for every user response. No user responses (data) will be stored on our databases.
Retrieve this information by logging on to your email account.

Important Note: We recommend not using this method if your form collects sensitive information
such as name, address, credit card, social security number etc... This is an unsecured method of
data collection.

Advantages:

1) You can retrieve other business email, personal emails and your user responses all from
one centralized repository (your email account).

Disadvantages:

1) You must maintain your own history in your email account.
2) You are limited to the tools and options of your email provider.
3) We do not store any of your client's responses or data.
4) The transmission is sent over email; therefore, it is not secure.

*There is a text box associated with this option. If you enter an email
in this box, your user responses will be directed towards this email. If
no email is entered, your alternate email address (6. View/Edit Member Info)
will receive your user responses. If an alternate does not exist, the userid
you registered with will receive your user responses.




VI. Conversion/Settings - E. Form Page Parameters

Form Page Parameters

Additional parameters that help with the identification & navigation of your forms.




VI. Conversion/Settings - E. Form Page Parameters - 1. Web Site URL

VI. Conversion/Settings - E. Form Page Parameters - 3. Image Update

Instructions:

1. Locate images (logo or trademark) on your web site, one by one, that you would like to upload to our servers.

4. Use the original image path to identify the image you are uploading.

If the 'New Image Path' column displays the term 'Upload Pending', then no image associated with that path
has been uploaded and the image will not resolve. Be sure to upload all images associated with the 'original image path'
column. There is nothing worse than unresolved images on an HTML page.

Note: If the 'Convert image paths' radio button is not selected during conversion, the button
will not be displayed anywhere.








VI. Conversion/Settings - F. Automatic Subscription Renewal Setting

Automatic Subscription Renewal Setting

Protect yourself from service interruptions by enrolling your subscription in our auto-renew program.
