The Forms Settings page controls global settings that apply across all forms on your site. These settings affect how email notifications function and how reCAPTCHA protection is configured. You must be a Level 10 administrator to access this configuration screen.
Site Key and Secret Key
These keys are used to enable reCAPTCHA spam protection for public-facing forms. reCAPTCHA is enabled by default on all public forms. These keys are required for forms to work.
Site Key
This key connects your forms to the reCAPTCHA service and will be included on every form.
Secret Key
This private key is used by the system to validate reCAPTCHA responses submitted by users.
Use a university-owned Google account to generate these keys. This ensures that the credentials are institutionally managed and remain accessible even if individual staff members leave.
To configure reCAPTCHA:
- Sign in to or create a Google Cloud Platform account using your university email.
- Select an existing project or create a new one.
- Click Create Key.
- Complete the required settings.
- Copy the Key ID (found near the key name).
- In your CMS, go to Forms > Settings and paste it into the Site Key field.
- Return to the Google Key Details page and open the Integration tab.
- Select Integrate with a third-party service or plugin.
- Copy the Secret Key.
- In Forms > Settings, paste it into the Secret Key field.
- Click Save.
If you have CMS Calendar with Public Submissions enabled, you could utilize the same keys.
Email Logo and Alt Text
You can customize the logo used in automatic email notifications sent by Forms.
Email Logo
Absolute URL to the image you want displayed at the top of email messages.
Email Logo Alt Text
A short description of the image (for screen readers and accessibility).
To configure the email logo:
- Upload and publish your logo image to your CMS site.
- Paste the full image URL into the Email Logo field.
- Enter descriptive alt text for accessibility.
Access Group
This setting defines which user group has permission to access and manage Forms across your site.
Access Group
The name of the CMS user group (e.g., Form Administrators) allowed to create and launch forms.
Make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser—the Forms module will not function without it.
