WSB uses the Slate platform (launching September 2025) to create user forms. 

Requirements

In order to have your Slate form embedded (added to a page) on the business.wisc.edu website, you must have:

  • All fields in a single column
  • All fields set to full width
    • For text input fields, set the width to 999
    • For select fields, choose the expanded width setting
  • Required fields marked as such 
  • Data validation to help users fill out fields correctly and prevent data errors
    • Use a specific field type that matches the data you want to capture. For example, if you want to collect email addresses, use the email field type; when collecting phone numbers, use the telephone field type.
  • A confirmation message
    • Could be something as simple as “Thank you for submitting the form” or you can create a custom message

Recommendations

Following these recommendations will help create the best user experience, which will lead to more people filling out and submitting your form.

  • Keep your form short and easy to complete



  • No labels
