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.
