New features and improvements in Sitecore XM Cloud Forms

 New features and improvements in Sitecore XM Cloud Forms

We have already checked the basic features of Sitecore XM Cloud forms in previous post. Sitecore has recently released some new features and improvements in XM Cloud forms, let’s check those updates now.

First update is, Editing Active forms.

XM Cloud forms now give us the option to edit a form which is already in Active state, which was earlier not allowed. The updates are immediately available to Sitecore pages and applied to live sites as well, once the editing is done and changes are saved on active forms.

To Edit an Active form

  • -          Go to forms dashboard
  • -          Select the form to Edit
  • -          Go to Preview and click on Edit form
  • -          Do the updates and click Push changes to make it available on Sitecore pages and live instance of the form.

The second update is, Archive forms.

XM Cloud forms now give us the option to Archive a form which we are not using, to make our dashboard clean and organized. The Archived forms then appear in the Archived table. We can Archive a form from any state, whether it is Active, Inactive or in Draft state.

To Archive a form,

  • -          Go to forms dashboard
  • -          Navigate to the form to Archive
  • -          Click on the three dots
  • -          Click Archive

Third update is, setting Custom Values on Select fields.

XM Cloud forms now give us the option to define custom text on Select, Multi select, Radio button and Check box in Custom Values section. The custom text is defined to send through Webhook instead of the option labels. End users will still see the labels only.

To set the Custom Values

  • -          Go to Forms dashboard.
  • -          Click on the form.
  • -          Add a Select field and click on setting.
  • -          Scroll down to Options.
  • -          Enable Custom values (it says -Enabling custom values let you specify what to send to the webhook instead of the option text)

-          Set the label and custom text for all options.


One more update is that now the Phone filed displays a Country code drop down, instead of a flag.

We will learn more about Sitecore XM Cloud forms in our next blogs. Thank you 😊

Setting Up Sitecore Headless with Next.js in Disconnected Mode

Image
Sitecore Headless CMS offers a flexible way to integrate with different frontend technologies. For developers working with frameworks like Next.js, Sitecore provides various ways to set up the environment, including four distinct modes: Disconnected Mode , Connected Mode , Integrated Mode , and API Mode . Each mode offers unique features for different stages of development and production needs. What Is Disconnected Mode? Disconnected Mode is designed for local development and testing without requiring a direct connection to the Sitecore platform. In this mode, data is typically retrieved from static files (like YAML or JSON), and content updates are done manually. This mode is ideal for frontend developers who want to focus on building the user interface and the site’s functionality without waiting for backend integration. In Disconnected Mode , the data flow is not dependent on the Sitecore CMS. Instead, content is stored locally in static files, which are easier to manage and qu...

Translating Sitecore items’ field values into different language with PowerShell and Translate API

Image
Recently, we encountered a situation where we needed to translate multiple Sitecore field values across numerous items into different languages. Manually handling each item and field was both time-consuming and complex—especially since actual translation was required, not just copying values between language versions. We explored various approaches to streamline the process. While AI-based solutions seemed promising, but client side Compliances for AI usage ruled out that option. Another practical alternative was to use spreadsheets like Excel or CSV files containing translated content and then import those values into Sitecore using PowerShell scripts. During our exploration, we discovered a freely accessible translation API that doesn't require an API key. By leveraging this in our PowerShell script, we were able to automate the translation process and directly apply the translated content to the appropriate language versions of the Sitecore items—saving both time and effort. ...
