Data Collector
The Data Collector allows adding required or optional input fields to collect specific data such as names, email addresses, or feedback.
How to use
The Data Collector can be used in two different ways:
- In-line
- On-page
The difference between those two options is: The In-line data collector is connected to a specific login method, while the On-page data collector can be used independently. This means the On-page data collector is optional by itself, but it can contain required input fields which have to be filled out in order to send the form.
In-Line Data Collector
To use the In-line data collector, first a data collector template must be created in the WebAdmin menu Login page/Data Collector
In the following example the In-line data collector will ask for the Name as a required field and the Email address as an optional field.
- Any pre-selections from the drop-down menu such as Name do already have translations in all available languages.
- No translation will be available for custom text description.
After the template has been created, navigate to the WebAdmin menu Login page/Login Page Editor. The currently active design (Default login page) can be seen at the top of the page. Find the design in the list below and click on the green Show/Edit button next to it.
The editor will open and on the top right side, click on the tab Page and open the Extensions.
Enable the option Data Collector Inline and click on Save.
- After clicking on Save, reload the WebAdmin page with the refresh button or the F5 key.
After the page has been saved and reloaded, a new data collector section called DataCollectorInline can be found in the same menu. Select one or more login methods that are to use the data collector profile created earlier.
Proceed with Save. The result will show up on the login page immediately.
On-Page Data Collector
To use the On-Page data collector, a data collector template must be created first.
In the following example the On-page data collector will ask for the Email as a required field and the Mobile number as an optional field.
No translation will be available for custom text description.
After the template has been created, navigate to the WebAdmin menu Login page/Login Page Editor. The currently active design (Default login page) can be seen at the top of the page. Find the design in the list below and click on the green Show/Edit button next to it.
The editor will open. To add the On-page data collector, click on the Data Collector element in the left upper side and drag it onto the login page.
For example between the logo and the welcome message. After the Data collector element has been dragged to its right spot on the login page, the site will automatically relead and display the element.
The On-page data collector can be moved at any time by a simple drag & drop operation.
Saved Data
All data collected with any Data collector can be viewed and downloaded in the WebAdmin menu Reporting/Collected user data.
Any collected data can be exported as CSV or XLS as well.
