# As an Admin - Creating a Form
## This article will demonstrate how to create a basic form and the settings that you can toggle to customize your form.
### **Instructions:**
**Step 1:**
- To create a form in your club (or state association) account, click on the **Forms** tab and then **Forms** again just below it.
**Step 2:**
- Click on **New** to create a new Form (you can also copy a previous form):
**Step 3:**
- In the top section of the form, give your form a **Name,** a brief **Description,** and a **Welcome Message** if desired.
- The **Welcome Message** is a dialog box that will pop up to users on the registration screen before they begin the registration process for the form.
- **Login Page Page Instructions** are Instructions that will be present before the user logs into their GotSport account.
- **Notification Emails, Emails to Notify Status Approved,** and **Emails to Notify Status Denied:** List the emails here for any users who should be notified each time someone fills out the form. To include more than one email, ***you'll need to separate the emails with commas in between.***
*To get a notification email, the email addresses must be tied to user accounts in the club.*
- **Start and End Date:** Dates available to complete the form.
- **Seasonal Year:** The seasonal year for this form. Almost always, it will be the current year. However, you could plan to use the form in the next seasonal year as well.
- **Age Method:** School Year.
**NOTE:** The School year is the 26/27 seasonal year
- **Minimum/Maximum Age:** Minimum and Maximum age that is allowed to complete the form.
- **Age Based On:** If you want the age user filling out the form to be calculated as the current age, beginning of the seasonal year, or end of the seasonal year.
- **Open:** Opens the form and makes it available
- **Allow Direct Club Access:** Gives clubs access to fill out the form for a user
- **Require Signature:** Check this box if you want to gather an e-signature from everyone who fills out the form
- **Required:** For state associations, marking this as required will activate the form for users to fill out registrations for member clubs. The users will need to complete this form to complete the club's registration program(s).
- **Automatically Approve Incoming Registrations:** Toggle this setting on if you want the forms to automatically show as approved, instead of viewing the form and changing the status to Approved or Denied
- **Allow Child Clubs to View Form Submissions:** Only used by Associations, not clubs/organizations.
- **Add Additional Step to Select Organization:** Only used by Associations, not clubs/organizations.
- **Add Additional Step to Select Team:** Only used by Associations, not clubs/organizations.
- **Do not allow bulk registration:** When enabled, this setting requires the user to only submit one form at a time, meaning a parent can not fill out the form for both her children in the same form. They must be filled out per each child.
- **Enable Chat:** Allows the registrant and the owner of the form to communicate through the form.
- **Do Not Allow New User Sign-Ups:** Disables the ability to "Create a New Account" at the Form beginning registration page.
- **Archived:** Enable this setting if you want to archive the form.
- **Require Two Factor Authentication (code sent via email):**
- **Automatically Add Sales Tax to Fee (by User Post Code): Another setting that is geared towards a State Association/Governing Body.**
- **Available For** - You can dictate who this form would be available for by checking the box for the particular role with the club. (Players, Coaches, Managers, Etc.)
- **Available Titles:** This setting relates to the "**Allow Direct Club Access"** setting listed above. When selecting these titles, the form will show in the "Available Forms" section for the user that has that title. However, anybody with access to the link can complete the waiver.
- **Affiliation:** Allows the form to only be available for a specific affiliation. For example, if you had USYS and US Club Soccer players, you could select USYS and the US Club Soccer affiliated players will not be prompted to complete this form.
- **Type**: The most common types are:
- *Standard*
- *Document Repository - A shared digital document storage space used to store, share, track, and manage files or documents. Most commonly used for Birth Certificate uploads*
- *Waiver - Commonly used with Events. You can require the form to be completed before the player can be approved on an event roster.*
- *Medical Release - A template to request that a health care provider (physician, dentist, hospital, chiropractor, psychiatrist, etc.)*
- *Inter/Intra Club Transfer, Team Player Release, Team Travel Request, etc. are types for State Associations/Governing Bodies. Clubs/Organizations don't need these form types.*
- **Organization to Notify:** Another setting primarily used by a State Association/Governing Bodies, this setting allows you to select clubs within your association to also get a notification of the completed form.
- **Merchant Profile:** Select your Merchant Profile if there are fees involved with the form and you are accepting Debit/Credit Cards
- **Fee:** The amount to pay to submit the form.
- **Collect Card Details But Do Not Process Payment** - With this setting turned on, payments will not run automatically upon submission. You will need to manually charge the card after viewing the submission.*NOTE\*\*\* This is only available for Payments in Full, and will not work properly for monthly payments.*
- When you are ready to charge the card, the admin will click Forms \> Onto the Form ID \> Billing
- **Accounting Code:** An accounting code is a code given to an account to form a chart of accounts. For Example, 23/24Competitive can be used to find all of your transactions related to that code. You can also have a code for 23/24Recreational to help differentiate your payments
