Creating FES forms

If you have experience with using FES forms in MEC, then you are likely aware that there are numerous fields that need to be added to the FES forms in order for users to fill them out. To provide you with more flexibility, we have created a separate widget in the Elementor FES builder for these fields, allowing you to add them to your form as needed. It’s important to note that if you don’t include a field’s widget in the form, that field will not be displayed, and users will not be able to enter any data in those fields. Therefore, it’s crucial that you carefully consider all of your requirements before creating FES forms.

Note: It’s clear that you need the submit button widget to have the option of submitting the forms to your users.

Create Mandatory Fields in FES Form

It is obligatory to fill in certain fields to submit the necessary event data in MEC, and if you don’t have enough data for them, the event won’t run properly, whereas many other fields can be left empty so that you might need their data. You can force your users to fill in those fields, which is not a new feature, and we have had it in MEC before, but now the Elementor FES Builder offers this feature in the widgets and the Content tab.

FES Form Styling

There are multiple designated styling options for every widget in a way that there are no elements in the widgets that don’t have customization options, so you are free to design any widget you like.
