Forms now support a configurable Footer on the Style tab, giving form builders visual control at the bottom of the form to match what the Layout and Appearance sections provided at the top. Service desk intake forms with contact info and SLA reminders, GRC attestation forms with compliance boilerplate, and customer-facing forms with company brand messaging all now have a proper footer surface without leaving the form designer.
Key Highlights
- New Footer Section: A dedicated Footer section on the Style tab exposes a toggle (default off), a rich-text Content editor, a Background Color picker, and a SmartSuite Branding toggle.
- Rich-Text Content: Compose the footer content in a rich-text editor from the left side panel; formatting options include the standard font styles, links, and text emphasis available in the rest of the form designer.
- Background Color from the Standard Palette: Match the footer to your form's Appearance or your brand's palette, with a custom-color picker available for exact matches. Default is White.
- Display SmartSuite Branding Toggle: The small 'Powered by SmartSuite' line stays visible by default (on for most form owners), but can be toggled off when a fully-white-labeled experience is required for a customer-facing form.
- Applies to Publicly-Shared and Full-Page Variants: Matches the rest of the Style tab's behavior, internal forms opened as a side panel continue to use the Classic layout without a footer, so the new setting only kicks in where it makes visual sense.
How It Works
- Open the Style tab on any form in the designer and find the new Footer section in the left side panel.
- Toggle Footer on. Two controls appear: Footer Content (rich-text editor) and Background Color (palette plus custom picker).
- Compose the footer copy in the Content editor; use formatting for links, emphasis, and structure as needed. Pick a Background Color that complements your form's Appearance treatment.
- Use the Display SmartSuite Branding toggle to keep or hide the 'Powered by SmartSuite' line at the very bottom of the form.
- Save the form. The Footer renders on publicly-shared and full-page variants; internal side-panel forms continue to display without a footer.
Pair this with Forms: Layout and Appearance (Jun 22 release) and the rest of the Forms 2.0 work shipping this year for a full end-to-end style pass on any customer-facing or publicly-shared form.
