As of July 1, 2024, the web team will no longer create, support or host new online forms in Formsite.
In the past, this platform enabled us to meet departments’ needs for online forms. However, since NIU now provides employees with access to several other free, user-friendly tools to create and manage their own forms, it’s no longer necessary or efficient for the web team to maintain university forms on Formsite.
Instead, you can use the following platforms to build and manage your forms:
To add your form to your website, include a link to it on your web update request form.
What about existing forms?
Existing Formsite forms may remain online after July 1, 2024. When you request an update to a page with an active Formsite form, you’ll need to provide a link to a replacement form on another platform at that time.
How can I prepare for this change?
To get ready for this change, we suggest making a list of forms on your site, noting where each is hosted. For those hosted on Formsite, decide which platform to use instead. Review training resources and/or knowledge-base materials to prepare you to manage your own forms, then recreate the forms accordingly.
What if I have a question?
If you have any questions about this change, please contact the web team at webcommunications@niu.edu.
