Frequently Asked Questions
All your questions about Jotform — answered. Check out our FAQs for answers to common questions, or contact our support team for further information.
What is an application form generator?
An application form generator is an online tool that lets you build and customize digital application forms. Instead of using paper forms or static PDFs, this tool allows you to create interactive web forms that applicants can fill out on any device. These forms are used for a wide range of purposes, including job applications, school admissions, rental applications, volunteer signups, and grant requests. A generator like Jotform simplifies how you collect and organize applicant information, making your entire process more efficient.
Can I use this for job applications?
Yes, the application form generator is ideal for creating job applications. You can build a form that collects candidate contact information, work history, and education. You can also add essay fields for screening questions and use the file upload field to accept resumes, cover letters, and portfolios. Once submitted, you can use Jotform Workflows to create a workflow that sends the application to the hiring manager and HR department for review, streamlining your hiring process.
How does AI help in creating my form?
The application form generator instantly generates forms based on your description. It identifies necessary fields (like name, contact, documents, or signature), and you can refine them with Form Copilot through natural chat commands, saving hours of manual work.
Is this generator good for rental applications?
Absolutely. You can build a comprehensive rental application form that gathers all necessary tenant information. This includes personal details, employment history, income verification, and personal references. You can use the file upload field to collect necesarry documents. For the final step, you can integrate your form with Jotform Sign to have potential tenants electronically sign a lease agreement or a background check consent form.
Can I accept application fees on my form?
Yes, you can securely collect application fees directly through your form. Jotform integrates with more than 40 trusted payment providers, including Stripe, PayPal, and Square. You can add a payment field to your application form, connect your account, and set the required fee. This is a secure and convenient way for applicants to pay, and it helps ensure you only review completed, paid applications.
How do I manage all the applications I receive?
Jotform provides a complete system for managing incoming applications. As soon as someone hits "submit," their data instantly appears in Jotform Tables, which acts as a central database. In Tables, you can view all your applicants in a spreadsheet, calendar, or card view. You can add tags to track applicant status (e.g., "Interview," "Rejected," "Hired"), filter by any field, and collaborate with your team, all in one place.
How can I collect supporting documents like resumes or transcripts?
Our forms make it easy to collect supporting documents. You can add one or more "File Upload" fields to your application form. Applicants can then attach files directly from their computer or mobile device. All uploaded files are stored securely with your form submission data, so you can access them easily from Jotform Tables.
Can I create reports from my application data?
Yes, you can easily visualize your application data. All submission information can be automatically turned into professional reports using Jotform Reports. With the Report Builder, you can create bar graphs, pie charts, and other visuals to understand your applicant pool. For example, you could create a report showing applicant demographics, how many applications you receive per week, or the breakdown of applicants by program or job title.
