Create a form with a consultation

You can create forms on Cocoriko using a consultation: for example, a registration form for an event, or a general inquiry form linked from your project pages.

Note: dedicated forms are coming to Cocoriko in early 2027.

See an example: Registration form — Open house (example).

Create the consultation

1. Click Consultations in the left menu, then click the + button.
2. Turn on each language your form will be published in. In each one, enter the title and a short introduction that says what the form is for.
3. Click Save.
4. On the General Information tab, you can change the Consultation Slug to a short address, such as registration. This is the end of the link you'll share. Click Save.

A new consultation starts in Pre-launch: only administrators can see it while you build it.

Then add a section to hold your questions. One section is enough for most forms.

1. Open the Sections tab and click +.
2. Enter a title for the section in each language.
3. Click Save.

Add your questions

Every question type can be used in a form. Use an Open-ended question for free-text information, such as a name, an email address or a phone number. See Question formats available for the other types.

1. On the Sections tab, click your section, then open its Forms tab, where the admin lists your questions.
2. Click +, choose the Type, then enter the question in each language.
3. Click Save.

Repeat for each question. Use the arrows in the Display Order column to put them in order.

Check the settings

• Make sure comments are turned off. On each question's General Information tab, Comments enabled should be turned off.
• Make sure results are hidden. On your section's Options tab, Hide results and comments should be turned on.

Click Save after any change.

Launch the form

1. Click Preview to check the form as participants will see it.
2. On the consultation's General Information tab, change Status to Ongoing.
3. Click Save.

The form is now live. Participants log in to answer, as with any Cocoriko consultation.

Share the form

Open the form on your public site and copy its link. You can share it anywhere: in an email, on your website or on a project page.

To add the link as a button on an event of your project page:

1. Open the event, then its Buttons tab.
2. Turn on Primary, and enter the button text, such as "Register", in each language.
3. Under Link Type, choose URL, then paste the link to your form in each language.
4. Click Save.

To create an event, see Add events on your project page.

Answers aren't linked to participants' accounts. If you need to know who answered, ask for a name or an email address in the form.

1. Open your consultation and click Analyze.
2. Click Results, then Excel export.

In the report, each row of the All results by respondent tab holds one person's answers. See Analysis of results using the Excel report.
