The basic element in Formarama is an Event. The definition of an Event is broad (you could also just call it a database), and can range from a simple guestbook or condolence register, to a registration form with multiple options and drop-down lists or a database with interactive map attached.

An Event is an input form, a set of rules about the event (Event Options, Color Scheme), together with a set of entries (submissions) to that form. An Event is created, maintained and owned by the Registrar of that event. One Registrar can own more then one Event. You become a Registrar by Registering to Formarama and create an event. Submissions are made by either people on the internet, or by the Registrar himself. The Registrar can grant special privileges by designating a Power User, who inherits all the rights of the Registrar, except for modifying or deleting the Event.

The Input Form the basic interface to populate your database with information, either by contributors on the internet, or by yourself. You are in control of colors, captions and the overall design (or just pick from a template).

The layout of a form can be changed through the Form Editor.

The Entry List shows the data in your database. You can define who may see this list (nobody, everybody or only contributors to the list), how many records you want to show on the page, which fields to show to the public and the default ordering. Listings can be sorted by clicking on the column headers. Last but not least this page contains some powerful search and filter options.

The Entry Summary lists some basic statistics of the entries. Data can be broken down by the different options where contributors could choose from on the input form, in this example by gender and by age. Columns can be sorted by clicking on the columns headers.
