The power of Contact Boss lies in its ability to search in the whole application, not just for a name. This is great for people who tend to forget names!

One of the quickest and easiest ways to search for contacts is to search by keywords. This will identify all the contact records with this keyword. You can also filter results to make identifying one contact a whole lot faster.

To start, enter a keyword such as the person’s company, or job title. Next, you can filter by group, such as their organization.

If you can’t recall the name of a contact you met at a recent networking event, you can also search by date range. To do this, simply enter the date of creation.

This will give you a list of contacts that you entered that day.

Contact Boss offers a really simple method for collecting contacts via online forms. To do this, simply design your form with the fields you want, and then download your source code, which you can use to create a new page on your anywhere on the web.

Definitions:

An Enquiry Form - a simple online form you can use to capture leads on your website, and an Event Form - a more complex online form that you can use to register guests for a specific event.

Both the event and enquiry forms are created largely the same way with customizable fields and images.  Your event form can also include an embedded map of your event location. This is really useful for groups that regularly host events, because you can easily track RSVP’s and communicate with event attendees.

To get started with either form type, select admin from your menu on the left side of your screen and choose Build a Form.

The form builder is intuitive, allowing anyone to successfully create and edit fields as required. You have the option to select from a custom design option or a template design option, and choose the form type.

A custom form type is used if you have a web development team. In this instance, you are supplied with a short code which is then placed within the body of your site’s HTML.

A template form type is used if you wish to easily create an event page without the help of a web development team. When you select template, you are given many options, such as form colour, custom fields, location map, images and an option to add your own logo. The template version will use this to build a web page for you.

In both cases, the form allows us to collect contact information into our database direct from your website.

Once you have selected your Form Type, you will then Select a Template. Next,

name your template, and enter the contact info of the person who will receive the form data.

Next, Insert the redirect URL, which is the URL of where you want your contacts to be redirected to upon form completion - typically a thank you page.

Finally, you can Enter Your Event Details, such as date, time, and location.  With Contact Boss, you even have the option to add a Google Map to your page.

You can also personalize your page with images and your logo.

Once the fields are complete, Contacts Boss will generate a form for you.

Once you are satisfied with it, select Download Source Code, and use this source code to create a new page on your website.

Once the form is implemented on your website, you will be able to view the contacts that have entered their data within Contact Boss.
