Creating forms (DNN)

The fastest path from nothing to a live form on DNN is the Form Wizard — five guided steps (Setup → Fields → Workflow → Design → Publish), and the form is on your page before the coffee cools. Open the Form Dashboard (admin toolbar or your dashboard page) and hit New Form.

The 5-step Form Wizard on DNN: name the form, click field cards to add Phone/Full Name/Text, continue through Workflow, Design and Publish — Create Form puts it straight on the page

The five steps

Step What you do
Setup Name the form — or skip typing entirely and start from a template / an imported JSON export.
Fields Click field cards to add them — Full Name, Email, Phone Number, Long Text, ratings, uploads… Each click drops a preconfigured field (the Phone card, for instance, arrives with country code + area + extension already wired). A live preview builds alongside. Multi-step forms are one toggle (+ Add Step).
Workflow Optionally attach an approval chain now (or later — see Workflow).
Design Colors & typography presets — the theme is per-form and can be tuned later in the builder.
Publish Access & sharing, then Create Form.

The wizard saves a complete draft and — when launched from a page's module — binds it to that page, so the working form is immediately in front of you (that's the last shot in the recording: the Customer Feedback form, live, with the three fields added in step 2).

Wizard, AI, or builder?

  • Wizard — the structured five steps above; best when you know the fields you want.
  • ✨ Create with AI — describe the form in a sentence and let the AI Form Designer draft it.
  • Form Builder — the full drag & drop designer for anything the wizard doesn't cover: layout rows, widgets, rules, per-field permissions — see Form Builder.

All three land in the same place: a form you can keep editing in the builder at any time.
