A local not-for-profit company providing rescue for canines is needing to modify their web application submission process for adopting, volunteering, and fostering. Previously, the client had been using PDF forms that required several steps to complete and submit the forms. It has been identified that the use of online forms will help shorten the process and will allow the client to track the application process through the use of reports.

Currently, the online forms have been created using a third party plugin for WordPress called Formidable Pro. This plugin allows simple form creation and reports. With the use of the reports, the client can obtain two different views. The first view is an overview of the particular form that was submitted which includes several columns. Within this view, there is the capability to search the forms based on certain parameters. The second view is a detailed view of the form the user submitted. The client will then be able to change the status of the form to either new, pending, approved, declined, or inactive and add additional notes. Additionally, an email notification will be sent to the client when a form is submitted.
