The Form Assembly February Roadmap

I’m happy to announce that The Form Assembly is continuing to improve its service. Here are the features that will be released this month:

  • Aggregated view of responses with charts
  • Improved Form Builder
  • Screencast Tutorials
  • Spam filter

Aggregate View

The charts will aggregate responses to multiple-choice questions, providing a clear report to surveys and questionnaires.

Charts

Improved Form Builder

This update will offer advanced control over the layout of the form along with a few interface improvements. The most noticeable change will probably be the ability to select different stylesheets directly in the preview panel.

Screencast tutorials

While we are aiming to provide a service that is easy to use and self-explanatory, we can always do better at explaining what this is all about. These tutorials will help (hopefully).

Spam Filter

Some spammers see web forms as a new way to disseminate their unsolicited advertisments. We are currently testing a spam filter designed to leave those undesirable responses out of your response set. No response is blocked at this point but we flag and report the suspicious ones to the form owner.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the RSS feed to receive the lastest product announcements.

    Very nice! What will you be using to generate the charts? (I’m looking for a good low/no-cost charting solution)

    I’m using Artichow (http://www.artichow.org/). It’s a pretty powerful PHP charting library. It’s free and easy to set up, but I think the documentation is in French only.

    It’s fine for a first iteration of what is needed here. The second version will probably use Flash components though.

    It generates PNGs on the fly btw… which could be resource-intensive. We’ll see.
