Form Collaboration 

Requirements

• You must be on an Essentials plan or higher to share your own forms and data.
• Any user you share your form with must have their own FormAssembly account, on your FormAssembly instance. 
• Form owners can transfer to any user on their instance.

Allow Another User to Edit Your Form

By default, only you can access your forms and data. Nothing is shared.

To allow another FormAssembly user to edit your forms, modify the processing options, and/or access the submitted responses:

• Go to the Forms List, hover Configure for the form you'd like to share, and click Collaboration. 

• From the Collaboration Options window, select the Sharing Options tab.

Sharing Options

• In the Sharing Options section, select the username of the user you want to share the form with from the user dropdown menu. 
• Choose the PERMISSIONS you want the user to have. You may select checkboxes for “Can read responses” and/or “Can edit form”.

• You must select at least one of the permission boxes in order to share the form.
• Click the Share button to complete the sharing process.  
• You can share the same form with additional users by selecting another user from the user dropdown menu again, repeating the same steps as before.

Import Sharing Permissions

Access permissions must be configured on a form-by-form basis. 

To quickly share several forms or set up another form with many sharing options, you may copy the permissions from an already configured form to other forms in your FormAssembly instance. From the Import Sharing Permissions section, select the form you want to copy permissions from in the form dropdown menu. 

You may view the username(s) of the user accounts you have shared your form with, and choose to revoke permissions at any time. 

Changing Form Ownership as a User without Administration Permissions

Any user account that is an owner of a form may transfer ownership of their form to any other user account within their FormAssembly instance without administrative restrictions. This means that form ownership transfer is no longer required to be completed by an admin, freeing up administrators to complete other tasks.

To Complete a Form Ownership Transfer as a Form Owner:

1. Select Collaboration to get to Collaboration Options
2. Select the Form Ownership tab
   • The current form owner is listed under the FORM OWNER section. If you are listed as the form owner, you may transfer form ownership to another user account within your FormAssembly instance. 
3. In Form Ownership Transfer, select a new form owner from the user dropdown menu. 
4. If the form is used in a workflow, we recommend that you maintain your collaboration permissions to the form to prevent errors in the workflow setup due to form ownership transfer. 
   • Under MAINTAIN MY COLLABORATION PERMISSIONS:
     • select the checkbox for Can read responses
     • select the checkbox for Can edit form
5. Click Transfer to complete the form transfer process.
