Forms and applications

Building a form, letting people fill it in, and reviewing what comes back.

Module: intake (off unless switched on)

Currently off everywhere

This module exists and works, but no server has it switched on yet. Ask the bot owner to enable intake — see Modules.

Building a form

/formadmin create

Then add questions with the builder. There are 15 kinds of answer — short text, long text, numbers, dates, pick one, pick several, yes/no, a user, a role, and so on.

Questions can depend on earlier answers, so a form can ask a follow-up only when it's relevant.

When it's ready, publish it. Publishing takes a snapshot — people who are mid-application keep the version they started, so editing a form never changes the questions under somebody halfway through.

Putting it in front of people

/formadmin panel

Posts a button people press to start.

Filling one in

Press the button. The form runs privately, one page at a time.

You can leave and come back. Progress is saved as you go, so a long application doesn't have to be done in one sitting.

Reviewing

/form review

Applications show who applied and their answers — as they were when they applied. Ranks change and people leave groups; a queue that re-checked identity on opening would quietly rewrite its own history.

It's not working

"This feature is not enabled in this server."

intake is off. See the warning above.

My form has no questions

You created it but didn't add any. /formadmin and use the builder.

People can't see the panel button

Check they can see the channel and the bot could post there.

I edited a form and someone's application looks old

Working as intended. They keep the version they started on.
