In this video we're going to look at how you can use the visual form builder plugin to create a form on your website so what we're going to do is as you can see we're logged in to the dashboard we're going to go down and select the visual form builder plug-in area and let's go ahead and just go straight to add new form alright once that load that's loaded I you are led to a page where you can add some of the you know kind of meta information if you want to call it for the form so the first one is the name of the form which your website visitors actually won't see so you know just use a label that will make sense to you so we're going to say volunteer application and then add the name of your company or organization or your name in this case I'm just going to you know use our business name here and next I'll the reply to email so this is where your emails will go to so I'm going to go ahead and just add my sort of generic email address here okay and then email subject a new volunteer applied and I'm going to repeat that email again so I'm just a distinguish between these two things so this is the email address where the form data will go to and then this is the email address that will show up if you set up a confirmation email to send out to you know in this case volunteers who have submitted an application on your website so slight distinct distinction there and oftentimes they'll probably be the same but it's nice to know that you can assign different ones if you want to so I hit create form so now that we're here we've got just the basic default setup so this field set here is the title that your users are actually going to see so I'm going to write something that's nice and user friendly like they for signing up to volunteer all right then at this point you can add instructions if you want to on how to you know fill out the form otherwise please be aware that this form will be embedded in a wordpress page so you can always put content above the form itself which is kind of nice but you know the instructions option is there if you want it and then next I'm going to show you you know different options for different fields that they have sort of pre-programmed into the system and how to use them so first let's take a look at just some of the most basic ones so you're always going to want you know an email address for the person who's submitting that form so that you can get in touch with them so they actually have a custom made email type here and what's nice about that
