About frevvo

Browser-based forms are an essential part of many web-based applications. Recent Web 2.0 developments such as Ajax have made it possible to create browser-based applications that deliver a more-responsive user experience and more closely resemble rich user interfaces. However, in order to achieve high business value, these applications need to be coupled with complementary server-side processing.

frevvo Live Forms™ Designer enables customers to easily create rich, dynamic, Web 2.0 forms using just a browser. These forms satisfy the demands of real business applications and leverage Ajax technology to provide a rich user experience that is far beyond typical forms-based applications. Nothing needs to be installed on your computer - the designer runs completely in your existing web browser.

frevvo Live Forms™ Server brings a new level of capabilities to browser-based forms by enabling sophisticated business rules, collaborative use by multiple users and by easily connecting with existing server applications, databases and web services. Forms can be embedded in your existing web site and can be easily deployed to customers. This saves time and money and you end up with better forms with more capabilities than most hand-built forms.

Using frevvo, you can:

• Quickly create forms by dragging and dropping controls or generate from an XML schema using your web browser.
• Use a wide array of pre-packaged controls to collect information.
• Easily handle repeating items - multiple addresses or accounts.
• Group and arrange your controls in a variety of ways - collapsible sections, tabbed views, multi-column layouts.
• Easily customize the appearance of your forms via themes.
• Specify rules that change the behavior of controls - conditional sections that display when required, or computed values such as invoice totals. Rules are automatically and immediately applied using Ajax.
• Define patterns that data must satisfy. frevvo automatically and instantaneously validates controls using Ajax. Users get immediate feedback and invalid forms cannot be submitted.
• Create multi-page forms to collect large volumes of data.
• There’s nothing to install. frevvo Live Forms Designer is 100% browser-based so you can easily create rich, Web 2.0 forms. Your forms can be used in any modern web browser.
• Work with your data. frevvo forms automatically generate XML documents that conform to a schema. If you created your form via the palette, frevvo will even generate an XML schema that the document conforms to.
• Share your forms. Mark your forms public and share them with anyone. Complete partially filled forms over multiple sessions or email them to other users to complete.
