Online Forms
Online forms allow users to submit and electronically transfer non-sensitive information to the University personnel. Personally identifiable information like SSN, DOB or financial information like bank account numbers and routing numbers cannot be transmitted via online forms. Web Services can complete the initial setup process for online forms. Webmasters can then use the LDP forms feature to develop individual form fields, setup email notification responses and thank you messages.
