Formatting Options in Data Blaze Forms

When creating Forms in Data Blaze, I want greater control of the design and user interface, so that I can make the form(s) more tailored to my target audience and business needs. Here are my suggestions...itemized:

1. Rich Text formatting tools: I want the ability to use the same or similar formatting tools that Text Blaze Snippets allow; change the font size, color, bold, italicize, underline, etc.

2. Design options: I want the ability to control the spacing between form items. As it stands, there seems to be an excessive amount of white space between field cards on the forms. Similarly, if deploying a form where I simply want the user to check boxes, those boxes are forces below the the text. In a typical form experience, it makes better sense to have check boxes in front of the first line of text.

3. Modular interface: I want the ability to drag modules around so as the form designer, I could drop them in place where I wish while the data remains mapped appropriately behind the scenes. It is great how currently we can reorder items in a vertical stack. However, expanding on #2 above, I would love the ability to drag a check box to a desired place on the items card.

4. Themes: I want the ability to give my forms a theme..a visual feeling that supports the intention of the form and aligns with a brand. For example,I want to set a background color for my forms, secondary color(s) for things like outlines, buttons, etc. Similarly, I want the ability to adjust the size and placement if the Cover Image and Logo Image.

5. Formatting the "Show a message" page: I want the ability to control the formatting of the message itself so that I can manipulate font size, color, spacing, and insert hyperlinks or images. As it stands, the static message field is not user friedly at all and forces the form designer to consider content so that it makes asthetic sense when the message displays. There really needs to be the ability to control how this looks.

6. Preview the "Show a message" page: I want the ability to preview how the message page will look without having to submit the form in order to see it. I love how I can preview the form itself. However, due to not knowing how the message page will look given no formatting ability, the only way to see it is to go through submitting the form itself. Depending on the length of a form, this can be quite time consuming. A quick preview window would be stellar so the designer can make immediate adjustments.

I think that's it for now! :grin: Thank you for your moments reading through all this and considering these ideas. You know me - and know that I am glad to meet with anyone on the Blaze team if you'd like to discuss further. :fire:
