When to Use a Public Form

Use a public form when someone needs to submit structured information without working inside the main Pianola application.

Public forms are a good fit for registrations, applications, contact forms, bookings, orders, surveys, consent forms, follow-up forms, and other guided submissions.

Good Candidates

A public form is useful when:

  • the submitter is external or only occasionally involved
  • the information follows a predictable structure
  • the answers should be stored or processed by the application
  • the user should not need a full app account
  • the submission needs a clear confirmation or follow-up flow

When Another Interface May Be Better

An internal application screen may be better when the user needs to compare records, edit information repeatedly, manage complex related data, or work across several modules.
