Add a Feedback Button to your SharePoint pages

6/15/2021

You can add a "Feedback" button (which opens the feedback form in a dialog window) to your SharePoint page using our free "Call to Action" web part in combination with our "Quick Form" web part.

To create the button, add the "Call to Action" web part to the page and then configure it as follows:

Button Label: Send Feedback
Button Link: form=feedback
Button Link Target: Popup
Web Part Width: 150
Web Part Height: 0

Please then also make sure to have the "Quick Form" web part installed in your farm.
The form displayed at the top is using the default form layout as provided by the web part installation.
It is configured to to send the form data to an e-mail recipient but it can also be configured to save the data in a SharePoint list.

The default "Feedback.txt" form template is located on the SharePoint web frontend server(s) at the below location:

c:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\16\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\AEFormWebpart

It contains the below text:

FormTemplate=Submitted by=S[{username}];Page=S[{page}];Type=R[Suggestion,Problem,Compliment]/5;Comment=M40/5
FormStyle=
LabelStyle=
Layout=
Center=false
Submit=Submit Feedback
[email protected]
SendToCc=
SendToBcc=
[email protected]
Subject=Page Feedback
MessageSent=Thanks for submitting your feedback!
TargetList=

Please change the "SendTo" and "SentBy" e-mail addresses as needed.
You also might want to change the form fields via the "FormTemplate" setting as needed by referring to the "Quick Form" documentation.
This documentation also contains information on how to submit the form data to a SharePoint list.
