Creating web forms
If you need to create online forms, you can do this using Formdesk. This tool can be used for registrations for events and for asking for feedback. You can contact the ISSC Helpdesk to request an account.
Do you need a program with more extensive options? Qualtrics survey software allows you to create online questionnaires for your research. It provides various question types, branch logic and the possibility to export results to statistical software, such as SPSS.

What is the standard retention period in Formdesk?
When you create forms in Formdesk, they are subject to a retention period of 6 months (or more precisely, 183 days). This retention period applies for the data you have collected via the forms, not for the actual forms you have created. The data will be deleted automatically, so you don’t need to do anything to make this happen.
