Online forms

yellow hen

I work for a large company that still uses paper application forms for clients. I'd really like to move towards an online form that can download in csv format or something to a spreadsheet. At the moment, there's a ridulous amount of work manually filling in spreadsheets. I have a few requirements though:

1. The form has to be reliable and secure.
2. It needs the ability to save partially completed information to allow a client return to it on more than one occasion if necessary.
3. It needs to be somewhat customisable to take on the company's logos and general aesthetics.

Has anyone any experience here? Not my area at all so I'm stumped.

Experiment with Google forms with some colleagues to see how it works, I have filled in lots of them but have never seen the processing/ uploading etc capacity at the back end.

Maybe time to move away from spread sheets and look at a proper web based database

Not my area😎

I agree re spreadsheets but it is a longer plan for another day. This is what I've got for now.

Google Forms and Microsoft equivalents are a bit of a nightmare for data protection and GDPR compliance. You won’t know where your data is physically stored, and under what circumstances Google may use your data or share it with others.

Look for a provider of online forms that will keep your information within the EU, such as https://submit.com/ from Cork.

Or talk to a web developer, possibly from whoever is supporting your website.

That's a really important point, thanks. Will look at that company now.
