Using Formcentric Connect in SiteArchitect
Last updated:
With Formcentric Connect for FirstSpirit, you can embed forms from your Formcentric account directly onto your FirstSpirit pages in SiteArchitect, without switching between applications. Any changes you make to a form in Formcentric are reflected on your website as soon as the form is published in Formcentric. No republishing in FirstSpirit is required.
Opening Formcentric Connect
Open the FirstSpirit project in which Formcentric Connect is installed. In the vertical toolbar, locate the Formcentric Cloud icon (3) in the Organize section. Click the icon to open the Formcentric Cloud report.
The Formcentric Connect report
The report displays all forms from your Formcentric account (2). Each form shows its current status and language.
