Legacy form settings
This help document is for our Legacy Forms. For a better user experience we recommend using our latest form builder which offers additional features and a more user friendly design.
There are 2 areas within a legacy form where settings can be configured:
- The forms 'Settings'
- The forms 'Widget Config'

Visit the settings cog below the forms steps to:
- Name: Provide a title for the form, which is displayed at the top of the form.
- Associated Matter Template: Select the matter template the form is associated with.If the form is set to create a new Matter, this is the template that will be opened.The associated matter template determines which data markers are available to assign your questions to.
- Associated Fee Earner: Select the Fee Earner you would like associated with the form. If the form is creating a new matter, the matter will be opened in this Fee Earners name.If you include the Fee Earner type question within the form, this will take priority over the forms associated fee earner.If you are using the form within a matter, the existing Fee Earner on the matter will not change.
- Load Existing Data when Updating a Matter: If the form is used within a matter determine whether existing data should be auto-filled within the form.This can save your Stakeholders time when completing Instruction Forms, for example.
