INTRODUCTION

EZ-FormManager is a tool for managing information submitted through forms created using EZ-PageBuilder.  EZ-FormManager is an optional tool.  The primary purpose is to securely gather information submitted on a form.  Normally, the data submitted using a form is transmitted using email which is not secure and therefore not sufficient for gathering private information such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, etc.  This data can be gathered securely by using the secure form option in the Form Builder block of EZ-PageBuilder.  In this case the data is not sent via email.  Rather EZ-FormManager must be used to retrieve the data over a secure connection.

EZ-FormManager can also be used with all forms created using the Form Builder block in EZ-PageBuilder, whether they are configured to be secure or not.  For non-secure forms EZ-FormManager could serve as a historical back up of the emails that the non secure forms process.

EZ-FORM MANAGER - OVERVIEW

The EZ-FormManager - Overview page is a summary of all the Form Names of all the forms that have be used.  The Form Name is assigned in the form block in EZ-PageBuilder.  The default name is “form1".  Unless you have called your form something else, that is the only form name that will appear.

NAVIGATION BUTTONS

At the top of most pages within EZ-NetTools there are four buttons: Administrative Tools, Construction Tools, Promotional Tools, and Resources.  Generally, the buttons are clickable and serve as short cuts to those respective tool options.
