Features
Forms to integrate and collect any information you need for your business.
| Subject | Description |
|---|---|
| Form Builder |
- Powerful "drag & drop" Form Builder, with lots of features.
- Form Builders (designs) are stored in the database (form builder records). |
| Forms |
- Form submissions are stored in database (form submission) records.
- Create / deploy / publish / share a Form internally, portal, website, 3rd-party website embedding, by email or a hyperlink. - Assign Form(s) to (portal) user and send invitation by mail. |
| On-premise and unlimited |
Everything is on-premise and unlimited, with Full Data Ownership in the Odoo database.
All data is stored in the Odoo database (form builders, form submissions etc). |
| One Form to build (maintain) and use everywhere |
- Publish and use the same form everywhere (backend, portal, website, embedded).
- View a form submission anywhere (backend, portal, website, embedded), if desired and access control allows. |
| No iframes. Just a compliant virtual DOM. |
- Forms are rendered directly in a virtual DOM in the Odoo backend, portal, website and also the embedded form.
- No iframes, resizing issues or edge-cases to worry about. |
| JSON data |
- A Form Builder (design) is stored as JSON data in the schema field of a form builder record.
- A submitted Form (input data) is stored as JSON data in the submission field of a form record. |
| Highly configurable | Easily configure your Forms deployment, publishing and other functionalities (in the Form Builder). |
| Integrations |
The integration possibilities are unlimited:
- Integrate Forms with other Odoo apps (modules), for example: CRM, Helpdesk, ERP, Sales, HR, shop, e-commerce, website - Process Form submissions to integrate the form data with any requirement. - Visit the other Forms modules to get a basic idea of configurable integration modules -- Click the author link "Nova Code" in the top. |
| Server Action(s) to process a Form submission |
Server Actions can be implemented to process Form submissions. See also the section about Server Actions below. Form submission fields (values) can be read and used as fields for an Odoo model record. Examples: - Create a CRM Lead - Create a Helpdek Ticket - Create or update a Stock Picking (receipt, delivery) - Create a Sign Request document with some placeholders pre-filled by form fields and email the Sign Request link. - Email a PDF report (QWeb generated) from the form submission data. |
| APIs to pre-fill and interact with Form fields |
APIs can be implemented to pre-fill, interact with Form fields. Pre-fill (load, populate) or update Form fields with data from other Odoo apps or by custom solutions and APIs. Examples: - For a logged-in portal user, populate form fields with company (parent) details, address, invoices, shipments. - Pre-fill (load, populate) a select/dropdown field where choices are products, filtered by some product-category or product attributes. This requires the Forms • Components API module:
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/19.0/formio_components_api
|
| Multilingual & Translations management |
- Forms and Builders are multilingual.
- Language-switch buttons are automatically available in the form and form builder. - Manage custom translations (e.g. labels, select choices, buttons) in the Form Builder. - The default language is determined and automatically determined / set by: website => logged in (portal) user. - If the website is enabled, the language (translations) also react upon the website language-switch. |
| Website - Drag & drop Form block (snippet) |
This requires the Forms • Website Snippet module:
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/19.0/website_formio_snippet
A redirect after submission can also be configured. |
| Embedded Forms - on external websites |
Embedding a Form on an external website is just a copy/paste of a HTML snippet. A redirect after submission can also be configured. |
| Installation | After installation you can start right away. No extra technical requirements or setup. |
| Installing and upgrading the Form Builder and Render UI is simple and fast | Upgrade the SurveyJS UI assets (form builder and renderer) when a new version is available, by just a few clicks in Odoo. |
| Hosting types | Works on Odoo.sh, Cloudpepper, on-premise (Linux servers). |
| Odoo database migration / upgrade |
Form builders, forms (submissions) and other related data remain compatible in newer Odoo versions, even when you migrate the database.
Mainly due to the JSON data storage of the form builders (designs) and form submissions. |
| Developer Friendly |
- Extend, customize the Forms modules.
- Develop additional Forms modules. - Develop custom Form components e.g. AI prompt, QR-code scanning, map etc. |
| Quality control | Backed by a comprehensive suite of 150+ unit tests, safeguarding stability and reliability — and compatibility across Odoo versions. |
| We also open source |
We provide an open source Python package, used in some of the modules, that parses and transforms SurveyJS Creator schemas and Form responses into usable Python objects. Explore the source code or contribute on GitHub: https://github.com/novacode-nl/python-surveyjs

License
One License is allowed per Odoo database.
Contact us for multi-project, reseller and custom licensing.
The Odoo Form Builder / Forms App is powered by SurveyJS form libraries https://surveyjs.io.
SurveyJS Survey Creator requires a separate commercial license per developer if you intend to extend its features or modify it.
If this applies to your use case, please contact us https://www.novaforms.io/contact for clarification and assistance.
What's new in version >= 19.0.10.0
The Form Builder and Form Renderer are powered by a new engine based on SurveyJS, now the default for all new forms.
SurveyJS is a better fit for modern Odoo versions, enabling richer features, better integrations and a solid long-term foundation.
The module (for Odoo 19.0) ships with a hybrid implementation supporting both engines, so existing forms keep working.
Note:
From Odoo 20.0 onward, the previous engine will no longer be supported and forms (form builders) should be migrated.

Super helpful module and amazing developer support
Nova Forms is a very useful and well-designed module. It makes building and managing complex forms in Odoo much easier, and the integration works smoothly on my website. The documentation and configuration are clear, and the module works well even before using a license key.
Most importantly, the developer is extremely responsive and helpful – my questions about setup and licensing were answered quickly and in detail. I’m very satisfied so far and would highly recommend this module to other Odoo users.
Wow, what a useful module
If you need super customizable forms look no further. Would definitely recommend as it’s already saving us so much time in our operations.
Excellent module with outstanding flexibility
Nova Forms has been a great addition to our Odoo environment. The module is powerful, flexible, and makes it possible to create highly customized forms without complex development work. It covers a wide range of use cases and integrates smoothly with existing Odoo processes.
What impressed us the most is the level of customization available. The form builder is intuitive, while still offering advanced capabilities for more complex business requirements. It has significantly reduced the time needed to implement and maintain custom forms.
The developer support is also exceptional. Questions are answered quickly, solutions are provided efficiently, and the documentation is clear and helpful.
Highly recommended for any Odoo company looking for a professional and reliable form solution.
