Creating & Amending Client Take On Forms – User Guide

Introduction

Client Take On forms are used for information requests to a client. Once created you will be able to send a your client a Client Information Request

Note:

  1. To be able to edit or create new Client portal take on forms you need to be an admin user.
  2. Sensitive data fields – these are separate fields because they are stored securely in the database, so separated out from the people and organisation data.
  3. You can only do an information request to a Person record and for 1 Organisation at a time. In the form a client can fill in information about additional people related to the organisation such as Shareholders, Directors and PSC’s.

Creating a New Client Take On Form

To create a form navigate to your username in the top right hand corner and in the drop down menu select Admin. Then scroll down to the FibreCRM Modules section and there select Client Portal Form Builder.

To create a new form press New. A panel will then be created. To build the form, first select the Pen icon to name the panel, each panel will be a section of the form for example; Driving Licence and then select Save. Use the Pen icon at anytime to rename a panel if needed. 

In the form you can separate it into different panel sections where you can request different information; for example the first panel would contain information about the Business and the second panel across the top would contain information about the individual. You can create as many panels as you require for your form by the selecting the Add Panel button.  

In the form you can separate it into different panel sections where you can request different information; for example the first panel would contain information about the Business and the second panel across the top would contain information about the individual. You can create as many panels as you require for your form by the selecting the Add Panel button. To rename the panel use the Pencil icon. Within the panel you can breakdown the information such as Address and Organisation Information using Subpanels. To add Subpanels within the form use the Add Subpanel button and to rename them again use the pencil icon. 

To add fields to the panel you need to add rows. To add rows on a panel select the Add New Row button from the left hand side column. You can then choose your fields from the left hand column and drag them across to sit inside the row. You can add multiple rows to a panel by selecting Add New Row and using drag and drop to add the field from the left hand column.

Note: You can only add fields that already exist in the CRM. If a field doesn’t exist it will need to be created. For information on how to do this please see our cheat sheet: Adding_Fields_Removing_from_screen_CheatSheet.pdf (fibrecrm.com)

The dropdown below the Add New Row button you can use to filter fields, you can view all or filter by People, Organisations, Panels or Sensitive Data Fields.

Next to each text field you will be given a dropdown that you could use to format the field, For example; a date field or a passport number.  You do not have to select anything, and this list can also be added to if you want a specific format.

The final results of the form will look better if you keep related fields in their own Panel for example; Address, Personal Details, Driving Licence. Use the Bin icons to delete panels or rows.

To move panels and rows around the screen you can drag and drop the panels and rows by selecting them and holding down the mouse button to move them around.

Once you are happy with your form, name the form in the box at the top of page and select Save.
