How to…add a form to your School Jotter 2 website

Published: September 20, 2012

School Jotter 2 allows you to add forms to your school website.  This is the perfect way to get feedback from parents, or to make things like absence forms easily available.
The submissions made via the website can be easily managed, as the School Jotter 2 software stores the results, and gives the option to export results to a spreadsheet for analysis / sharing.
Here is a step-by-step guide to adding a form to your site.

  • Navigate to Manage> Forms
  • Click Add Forms
  • Give it a name, and click Fields to add, change or delete fields
  • Select field type from the dropdown box – choose from Text field, Text area (to allow longer comments), Dropdown (to add a list of options) Date (to create a Date field) and Captcha (adding a security option, ensuring forms are only submitted by real users!)


A list of questions / options can be added, and easily moved up and down.  You can set it so that when a form is completed by a visitor to your website an alert can be sent to an email address of your choosing.
To upload your form to a web page, click Edit Page>Insert Items>Forms.  Choose your form, save the page and then test your form.  Your test entry should now be recorded in the submissions section of the content management system.  To view submissions, navigate to Manage> Forms, and click Submissions.

Welcome to the new School Jotter blog.  Here we will showcase the latest new School Jotter sites, detail the new features of School Jotter 2, and provide some handy how to guides for existing users.

In this first post we thought we would highlight the amazing support that comes as part of the package when your school signs up for a School Jotter website.
The Webanywhere development team work closely with you to create a site that fulfils all you requirements, and reflects your school ethos.  Once it is ready to go live, the support team takes over.  Full training is given remotely, taking you through everything you need to know to manage the site yourself.  The School Jotter content management system is so easy to use even staff with no previous experience will quickly be able to get to grips with publishing online.
With any new School Jotter website a years technical support comes as standard.  This support can be over the phone or via email, and we offer various online help resources such as our Customer Training Centre.  If you require technical support after the first year, simply renew your support contract.  Our support team is dedicated to ensuring you make the most out of your school website, and really stretch beyond to provide outstanding service.  Over 2000 customers in the Uk and abroad can’t be wrong!
