Make sure to get the latest update when launching StudioCloud or go under Settings and click on 'check for updates'. Please note that current customers will not be affected by any of the changes unless they edit the form.
For those of you who don't currently use CloudForms, they can help you collect important information before an appointment, capture and convert leads, and gives you the ability to have your clients digitally sign contracts.
The CloudForms have been updated to support fonts, font colors and text box colors. Below are sample contact us forms with different font and color setups. The forms with the white background are transparent, so if you embed them in your website the background color will be the same as your website.
The CloudForms form creation interface has also been updated to support dragging and dropping of components to sort them. Below are examples of the clicking to sort method and the dragging and dropping to sort method. Both methods are now supported.
