\nIn general, users prefer to complete online electronic forms rather than fill in forms by hand. The ability to edit and correct errors and to cut and paste text are things people have come to expect. So too are features such as drop down menus, check boxes and spell checkers all of which help make electronic forms pleasant and easy to use.<\/p>\n
\nPart-completed forms can be password protected and saved and retrieved later for further work. Also, if the forms are hosted in the cloud, multiple users can access and work on the same form from different locations allowing the form-filling to be a co-operative exercise.<\/p>\nBenefits to organisations that receive the forms<\/h2>\n
\nOrganisations that receive electronic forms do not need to expend effort deciphering hand-written forms and transcribing data, so transcription errors are eliminated.<\/p>\n
\nPossibly because form filling is made easier and more flexible for users, the number of \u2018well-considered\u2019 applications received tends to be significantly higher.<\/p>\n
\nThe submitted data can be readily transferred to the receiving organisation\u2019s databases and workflows thereby helping to streamline back-office processes.<\/p>\n
\nWhere solutions are hosted in the cloud, users can link seamlessly to the form from the organisation\u2019s website. This minimises technical and administrative overheads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
