All forms in MopMan Forms sync to a single MopMan Core table…

MopMan Forms contains forms made for MAIA and related orgs. Within MopMan Forms, One Form and its Responses = One Table. These forms then all sync to MopMan Core’s “📄 forms” table. Forms are not made in MopMan to reduce clutter. Aggregating the responses into one core table adds additional functionality across MopMan described in (section 4)

To create a new form

1. Create your form in the MopMan Forms base. (section 1)
2. Sync your form to forms (MopMan Core) (section 2)

1 Create your Form

I will not go into depth about how to make a form from scratch here, since this is a common AirTable function. If you are not familiar with how to do this, please watch this video:

There are some important security related things to note. You will notice there are some synced tables from MopMan Core to MopMan Forms which are available for you to use.

Synced MopMan Core tables

There are a few ways where this can be helpful. Ex: An AISF Feedback form where they get a dropdown to select their TA or Section. Another use is shown in 1.2.

2 Sync your form to forms (MopMan Core)

Step one is to add a new formula field named “Name” (if you already have a “name” field, I recommend changing that to “respondent_name”) that will be the name of this submission. This can be anything but you will likely want to set it as the [form_name] + respondent_name.

<aside> ℹ️ This step is necessary because when syncing a table into forms (MopMan Core) , the primary field of the original table MUST become the primary field (ie: “name” field of forms (MopMan Core))
