How to share your form?

When you are in the form you have just published, click on the Publish tab. Here you can see various links on how to share your form.

Share - Public link

Use the public link when you want to share your form via an email link or add it to a social media page.
The options available are:

  • Use a link based on the form name (changing the form name will change this link)
  • or use a permanent link (changing the form name will not affect this link)
  • or use a QR code for this permanent link (changing the form name will not affect this link)
  • or show the QR code now. This will show it on the screen in a new tab and allow you to take a screenshot or right click on the image to save it.

The public links are created by infoodle automatically when the form is saved.

Emailing the link from infoodle

After viewing the QR Code, you can right click on the image to save the image to your computer and then add it to your material.

Embed - in your Website

Use this function if you wish to include this form directly on your website instead of a link. It's the same idea as embedding a Youtube video.

Your website design will determine how wide you want the form (the height is auto calculated). If you leave it to default it will display as the maximum size available. If your page is responsive (designed to shrink and grow depending on what browser you are using) then choose the Default option as infoodle's form will respond and resize to the space available.

  1. Choose the Width display from the drop down list.

  2. Copy the code given in the Embed - in your Website box

  3. Paste the code into your website.

This will depend on how your website tool works. Get in contact with who maintains your website to use this feature.

Note: the script tag has a div tag also which can be placed separate to the script code if needed. An example of this is shown below

Once you have published the form on your website it becomes public and people will be able to complete the form.
