It is an easy way to create forms that you use repeatedly. My first form was a questionnaire that I can send to potential new clients to gather information that will allow me to first determine if they are a client I want to pursue, but then to allow me to speak to their specific situation. It has questions that are fill in the blank text, multiple choice, yes\/not, select from a drop down list, etc. It is so easy to use and I love the way it appears to the person you send it to. There is a welcome screen and then the questions start to appear and after each one is answered, the next question appears. Some questions can be required such that the person cannot skip the question without an answer. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\"><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\"><span>I love it!

This is just one of countless uses of a form such as this. The automation and standardization of the process is going to save us time, ensure we get all the information we need and makes my firm look good by providing a professional, fun way to gather information.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\"><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\"><span>Check it out!
