Forms Help Guide

Forms on the Harper website are housed in Formstack. Once a form is created in Formstack, it can be embedded in any Harper web page using embed code. An example of an embedded form can be found below.

Account Access and Training

If you are "taking over" an existing license from another user, submit a Web Request and include the name of your predecessor, and what forms you will need access to.
To purchase a new license, start by submitting a IT Service Desk Request (choose Technology Purchase Request) on HIP. After a license is purchased for you, you will then need to submit a separate Web Request form to create the account in Formstack. Include information on what forms you will need access to, along with the name of your predecessor if you are taking over responsibilities from a previous account holder.
If you already have a Formstack account and need training or access to additional forms, please submit a Web Request form.

Protecting User Privacy

While Formstack does offer a number of security features, no system is completely safe from hackers. Please consider that any information you collect could potentially be accessed by unauthorized individuals.

For that reason, forms should generally collect the minimum amount of information necessary to accomplish a specific business goal that also benefits the user. Consider leaving out questions about users' birthdate/age or gender, for instance, unless that information will be used to directly improve the users' experience at Harper at this point in their educational journey.

Note: If you need to collect medical information, social security numbers or other sensitive information, enhanced security features will need to be enabled on your form. These features will limit some of Formstack's functionality.

The best way to protect your users' privacy is to ask for as little information as possible.

Example of Formstack Embed

The form below shows the different kinds of fields available in Formstack. Additionally, fields can be displayed using conditional logic. To see an example of conditional logic choose Option 2 from the Dropdown Box. An additional Long Answer Box should appear. An asterisk (*) indicates a required field (see the Short Answer field as an example).
