!ce Forms & Timed Tests Manual
A complete technical and operational guide to creating interactive forms, timed online examinations, mathematical LaTeX formulas, direct UPI QR payments, automated scoring, and high-concurrency response analytics.
1. Platform Overview & System Capabilities
Dynamic Interactive Forms
Drag-and-drop form canvas with 10+ core field types, conditional branching, direct UPI payments, and voice notes.
Timed Online Exams
Precision countdown timers, scheduled test windows, auto-submission, negative marking, and instant grade evaluation.
High-Concurrency Engine
Enterprise cloud architecture collecting 300+, 1,000+, or 10,000+ responses with 1-click !ce Sheets sync.
Dual Mode Flexibility
Choose between Form Mode (for surveys, applications, lead capture, and payment collection) and Exam/Test Mode (for academic tests, university entrance quizzes, competitive assessments, and technical tests with mathematical equations).
2. Form Creation & Core Field Types
!ce Forms supports an extensive library of specialized fields designed for modern data capture:
Short & Long Text
TextSingle-line inputs for names, titles, IDs, and multi-line textareas for detailed paragraphs and answers.
Multiple Choice & Checkboxes
SelectionSingle-select radio buttons and multi-select checkboxes with custom options, option ordering, and answer branching.
Dropdown / Select
SelectionCollapsible select menus with instant client-side search filtering for large lists of options (e.g. countries, departments).
Date & Time Pickers
Date/TimeInteractive calendar date picker and time selection inputs supporting international date formats.
My Space File Upload
Cloud StorageSecure multi-file attachments (PDF, DOCX, Images, ZIP) with file-type restrictions and file size validation.
UPI Dynamic QR Payments
FintechDirect P2P UPI QR generator for GPay, PhonePe, Paytm with fixed amount or respondent custom amount.
Star & Numeric Ratings
FeedbackInteractive 5-star rating controls for customer satisfaction surveys, feedback forms, and review scores.
Voice & Audio Instructions
AudioEmbedded audio players inside questions for spoken prompts, listening tests, and accessibility.
Advanced Logic & Customization
Multi-Section Branching
Split complex forms into multiple pages. Configure logic: "After section 1, go to Section 3" or "Submit form".
Conditional Question Logic
Dynamically reveal questions only when dependent fields are answered (equals, does not equal, contains, is filled).
Accounts Profile Autofill
One-click smart autofill populates respondent name, email, phone, and university details from their !ce Accounts profile.
3. Timed Tests, Marking Schemes & Proctoring
The Exam Engine turns your forms into high-security online test environments for colleges, schools, coaching institutes, and corporate technical assessments.
Precision Countdown Timers
Set custom exam durations (e.g. 60 min, 90 min, 3 hours). When the student enters the test, a real-time countdown HUD floats at the top with warning color pulses at the 5-minute and 1-minute marks.
Automated Submission Engine
When the timer reaches 00:00:00, the test interface automatically freezes all inputs and forces an instant cloud submission, preventing students from answering past the deadline.
Scheduled Testing Window
Define official Start & End Datetimes (e.g. Sept 15, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM). Students cannot open the test before the start time, and access automatically locks after the window concludes.
Positive & Negative Marking
Designate correct answers on MCQ options. Set custom positive marks (e.g. +4 marks) and negative deductions for wrong attempts (e.g. -1 mark) matching competitive examination standards.
Instant Automated Grading & Result Scorecards
Upon submission, student scores are calculated instantly by comparing candidate choices against your predefined answer keys. Instructors can choose whether to release scores immediately on the completion screen or hold results until manual announcement. Detailed scorecards include:
