Adding and Building a Form
![](https://img.zohostatic.com/zde/static/images/info.png)
Forms module is used for creating any type of form outside of your speaker - submission forms and registration (attendee & exhibitor) forms
- For example, evaluations, awards, grants, applications, sign-ups, disclosures, nominations/voting, copyrights etc.
- Forms may be general or conference module specific e.g. create a speaker disclosure form tied to a submission module, or a membership application tied to your membership module
- All forms may have unique peer review processes for assessors to judge and score the application forms
- All forms are responsive and mobile friendly
- Forms may be public or locked (requiring login authentication)
- Overall conference and session specific evaluations are linked to sessions and may be configured to collect credits through the CE/Credit Management module
