Unable to see the newly created Sitecore Forms

/ RKenkre

In Sitecore 9.x, we have new module Sitecore Forms which was earlier known as WFFM (Web Forms for Marketers). This module helps us to create Forms with zero coding approach.

Sometimes you create a new Form in Sitecore Forms but you are not able to see it in the Forms Dashboard.

SitecoreForms_1

Resolution:

The forms are displayed on Dashboard using the Search indexes in background, so we need to rebuild our Search indexes from Control Panel to display the newly created form.

  1. Go to Control Panel from the Launchpad
  2. Click on Indexing Manager.
    IndexingManager
  3. Unselected all the indexes and Select only the highlighted in below image.
    IndexingManager_2
  4. Click Rebuild.
  5. Once the indexes are successfully built, go to Sitecore Forms from Launchpad.
  6. You should be able to see the newly created form on the Dashboard.

Hope this resolves your problem too.. If not then we connect and try to resolve it.

Thank you… Keep Learning.. Keep Sitecoring 🙂

  1. Thanks, It works for me. I struggle a lot 2-3 days. Finally your article helped me to see the form.
    Request: Please share me an article to bind dropdown dynamically with a data source. I have country list to create a dropdown. This having more than 100 options. I want to keep it in a separate data source.
    Early response highly appreciable.

    Kind Regards

  2. Hi Vishal,

    I might be late to answer your question but it is easily possible using the out-of-the-box setup of Sitecore forms.

    You can create your country list anywhere in the Sitecore IA. Select the Dropdown field, and check the “Dynamic” option instead of “Static” under options. Then you will be able to select the Parent item of the Country list and you can select the fields you want to show as Key and Value.

    That’s it.
