'''Questions'''
Q:How does it work for processing phone numbers?
A: Do not need to include dashes or brackets, this is good because users have complained about that.
Q: Is there a list of criteria for use?
A: You can use it for internal use, there’s no set of approved use cases. It’s the responsibility of the user to make sure that’s it’s approved for their use
Comment: Please come back when the conditional logic is ready
Q: Is the data stored in Canada?
A: Yes, it’s through Amazon, stored in Montreal.
Q: For the name field - what about people that have only a single name?
A: You’re able to customize that field to accept one name only.
Q: Will GC forms replace printable .pdf forms?
A: No, we don’t recommend replacing your printable forms, due to issues such as some areas with low bandwidth, also it’s better to have other options available.
Q: For longer term forms, can staff simply collect responses every 60 days and keep the form running online?
A: Yes, this is possible.
Q: There are sections where the form turns red, is this still accessible?
A: Yes, it has been designed to work with screen-readers.
Q: Will a custom breadcrumb trail be available?
A: Yes, we’re working on that, no timelines at this point.
Q: Does the number system account for the differences in French and English?
A: No, the field just validates that what you’re entering is a number.
Q: Can you give examples when this would be suitable for internal use?
A: You can build English and French simultaneously, also can be secure. It depends on your needs really, for less complicated uses, Microsoft forms could be a better choice.
Q: Any plans to allow for uploads?
A: Something that we’re working on.
Q: Are there any problems with timing out?
A: No, as long as there’s no problems with the user’s computer, there’s no problems.
Q: When should we use this tool, and when should we use AEM forms?
A: GC forms can be a good option if you don’t have access to AEM.
