How FormQue works
A quick walkthrough of the product — and a plain-English explanation of every custom word you'll see in the UI.
— Getting started
Create an account
Sign up with your email and passphrase. Free — no credit card needed. You'll land in your Studio.
Already signed up? Just open your Studio from the login page.
Start a new Sketch
Click "New Sketch" on your dashboard. Give it a title and optional description. It starts as a draft — nothing is public yet.
Create as many Sketches as you like before publishing any of them.
Add your fields
Inside the Sketch builder, add questions using 12 field types. Mark fields as required, add options for selects, and reorder by dragging.
The Craft step lets you preview the theme before going live.
Publish your Inquiry
Go to the Publish step, choose Public or Unlisted visibility, and hit Publish. Copy your share link and send it anywhere.
You can unpublish at any time. Responses already collected are kept.
Collect responses
Respondents open your Canvas link and fill the form — no account needed. Every submission appears instantly in your Ledger.
Rate limiting is on by default — 10 submissions per person per hour per form.
Review your Ledger
Head to Submissions to read every answer, or Analytics to see trends, totals, and per-form breakdowns over time.
Click any row in the submissions table to see a full structured view of that response.
— Terminology
Custom words in the UI
FormQue uses its own vocabulary throughout the product. Here's what each word actually means.
The home screen you see after signing in. Contains all your Sketches, Submissions, and Analytics.
Every form you create is called a Sketch. It can be in draft or published state. Find all yours under "My Sketches" in the sidebar.
The second step in the form builder, where you choose a visual theme and preview how the form looks before publishing.
Once a Sketch is published, it becomes an Inquiry — a live form with a shareable link that respondents can open and fill.
What a respondent sees when they open your link. One question at a time, full-screen, designed to feel clean and focused.
The collective term for your Submissions tab and Analytics section — the record of every answer your Inquiry has received.
The act of publishing a Sketch and sharing it with the world. A form in Exhibition mode is open for responses.
FormQue calls it a passphrase instead of a password. Set or update it from your Profile page under the Passphrase section.
The visual and language theme across FormQue — parchment textures, ink tones, hand-drawn borders. "Atelier Parchment" is the default form theme.
