Form reports events

Version: 8.1

You can view web form events by clicking the required report in Form Reports, on the Detailed Reports tab. You can access the Form Reports from the Sitecore Desktop.

The web forms events are displayed in the Experience Profile application, which you can access from the Sitecore Launchpad.

The Activity tab in the Experience Profile application lists the activities that are performed when a site visitor is on the website. The Events section displays all the events that are triggered when a visitor fills out a web form, as well as all the errors the visitor encountered when interacting with web forms.

In the Activity section, you can find both field events and form events.

Several field events can occur in the same field during the same attempt to submit a web form, as users change the information in the field.

The following events are listed in the form reports:

Event

Description

Field Completed

Triggered when a field in a web form contains a value and is tabbed or clicked out of. You can implement this using AJAX.

Field Not Completed

Triggered when a validation of a required field fails because the field has not been filled in by the visitor.

Field Out of Boundary

Triggered when a validation of a field fails because the value entered falls outside the boundaries defined for the field. This event is used for the Min and Max Length of the Text and Password fields, as well as for Date and Number fields.

Form Check Action Error

Triggered when a Check Action fails. When this event occurs, there is a Check Action error and the visitor is returned to the form. No other Check Actions or save actions are initiated.

Form Save Action Failure

This is a failure action, and is triggered when the IsFailure property is enabled.

Form Submit

Triggered when a visitor clicks the Submit button or presses the Enter key. This indicates an attempt to submit the form.

Invalid Field Syntax

Triggered when a validation of a field fails because the data entered in the field fails a particular syntax check. The event is used for the following field validations: Regular Expressions in Text, Regular Expressions in Password types, and Email fields.

Submit Success

Triggered when a Submit action does not return an error. The event is registered together with the Form Conversion event, and is primarily used to facilitate the SQL statements required for the Form Dropout, Form Usability, and Form Failures reports.

Form Begin

Triggered when a visitor starts filling out or submitting a web form.

Note

The Form Begin event is critical to reporting. You should not manually trigger it because this can affect form dropout reporting.

Form Dropout

Triggered when the user session has expired and the visitor did not successfully submit the web form.

Note

The Form Dropout event is critical to the reporting. You should not manually trigger it because this can affect form dropout reporting.
