Component overview
Form panels allow you to combine a form embed component with an optional header image and copy placed next to the form. Use of a form panel can give you styling options not available in a plain embed component.
- Form Panels can be used on all page schemas: Although designed for the Section Front schema, Form Panels can also be used on Section Detail, Profile Detail and Degree Detail pages.
- Form Panels only use Formstack: Formstack is the approved form solution for creating a Form Panel. You must create a standalone Embed component that is nested within the Form Panel component.
- Consider the length of your form and associated text: The Form Panel has a WYSIWYG for content to be placed next to the form. Think about the length of the content in relation to the form length. Short copy with a long form may be jarring for the user.
- Think about strategic form placement (especially on mobile devices): Forms can be placed on the left or right. Remember, form content stacks on mobile devices. Think about the user experience; on what point of the page where should the form and content be presented to the user on a mobile device?
- Header images are optional: You do not need to include a header image with your Form Panel. If you do select one, choose an image that matches the context of the Form Panel content.
- Use background color to your advantage: Form Panels allow for dark gray or blue backgrounds on the form. Take the style of the content above or below the content into consideration when selecting a background color.
- Size your header image correctly: Form Panel headers have a required size of 1200 x 400 px.
- Form Panels can be the only content on the page: You can leverage the Form Panel's WYSIWYG body copy area and create an entire page with just the Form Panel component.
- Form Panel forms must be cleared in Site Improve: Forms can trigger multiple issues, including grouping warnings, descriptive field errors and more. Be sure to review your form embeds manually in Site Improve when using Form Panels.
- Form Panel header images must include alt-text: Header images in Form Panels require a descriptive alt-text.
- Select a proper H- or P-tag for your Form Panels: Be sure to select a proper H-tag for the position of your Form Panels on the page to ensure you do not skip H-tag levels and adhere to our accessibility and on-page optimization guidelines.
- Form Panel anchor text (links) must be unique: Each anchor text must be unique to that link to ensure you do not create a multiple destination link accessibility error.
The required image size for Form Panel headers is 1200 x 400 px.
