Multipage forms

NOTE: Multipage forms are available to use in ASP.NET Core and Next.js based frontends as of version Sitefinity CMS 15.4.8629.

You can create ASP.NET Core / Next.js forms with multipage layout to break up long or complex forms. This way, you enable site visitors to complete (for example) a very long survey, application form or questionnaire, through the intuitive and personalizable user interface of a multipage form.
You add a navigation bar to the form to let users know how long the form is and how close they are to completion. In addition, the users can easily navigate between the consecutive pages (steps) of the form.

You design the layout of multipage forms using these out-of-the-box widgets: Form page and Form navigation.
You break up the complex forms using the Form page widget, which splits the form into multiple subsequent pages.
You configure the form page sequence (the steps) using the Form navigation widget, based on the number of Form page widgets you've added.

For information how to design and configure multipage forms, follow the procedures in Create and design multipage forms and Configure multipage form widgets.

Validation of multipage forms is handled client-side. When a user tries to navigate forward from one page to the next, the current page is validated. Users cannot proceed to the next page/step if the current step failed to pass the validation. For example, if you have placed a required field where the user did not provide any valid input, the multipage form validation mechanism does not allow them to proceed to the next step.

Once visitors submit their answers to a multipage form on your website, you can set up notifications, confirmation emails, and manage large volumes of form responses in the backend and frontend. In addition, you can export form responses for further analysis and use.
The submitted responses are visible in Sitefinity CMS backend and accessible through the Forms page.
