FBI! Thank You Page
Your visitors receive a Thank You Page after they submit a form. Each form has its own Thank You page.
You cannot turn off this function. FBI! displays a default Thank You Page, if you choose not to customize.
You can, however, change the content of this page to fit the context of the form (ex., a registration form).
You don't have to think about matching the Look & Feel of this page to your site. FBI! does that for you.
Do you upload your own HTML pages?
Simply modify the information on this FBI! tool page to fit the context of the form. The Thank You page that you create in Step 1 of the Upload Your Own HTML process will "pull in" this modified information.
Are you sending them an AutoResponder follow-up? Within the body of your Thank You message, remind your visitors to whitelist your domain name in order to ensure smooth communication from you to them. Also ask them to check their Junk or Spam folder if they're expecting a message from you. Copy the following text, paste it into the text block, add your domain name, and then modify it to suit your voice...
You will receive an e-mail message from us shortly. If you do not receive the message within 30 minutes, check your Junk or Spam folder as your ISP or Web-based mail service may have incorrectly filtered it there.

A Thank You Page Example
You just created a feedback form and you're now ready to customize your Thank You Page. Here's what happens...
First, change the Page Title to "Thank You For Your Feedback."
Next, add a NavBar to the page, so that visitors can explore your site after they're done.
Then change the Headline to "Thanks For Taking The Time," center it, and choose size 3.
Now it's time for the key step, inserting your message into the Body Text. Add a polite note of appreciation for your visitor's participation. Also gently mention an upcoming promotion.
Quickly preview the page. Is everything satisfactory? Click the Build It! button and you're finished!
Tips
- The Title does not render HTML formatting code (ex., bold, italic) properly, so do not use HTML to format the Title.
- Do you have a free e-book to offer as an incentive and you know HTML? Provide a download link in the Body Text. Read this Tips and Techniques series of articles for more information on how to make a PDF file available to your visitors.

If the form is a poll or a survey and it uses radio buttons, drop down menus, or checkboxes, you have two display options...
Table -- the tabular reporting format is a line-by-line reporting of all data submitted by each visitor (one line per visitor).
Graph -- the graphic reporting format summarizes data in graphic format, making it easy for you and your visitors to see "the big picture."
