Abcore Cadí's web forms simplify work to NGOs

Abcore Cadí's web forms simplify work to NGOs

The form is one of the key tools for the conversion of Internet users in partners, donors and volunteers. With the functionalities offered by the Acore Cadí forms, the entities have many options to manage them very easily, improving communication with the users of the web.

The forms are also very useful to collect inscriptions, data, ideas and have some interesting features, we see them:

 

formularis abcore cadí

 
  • Types of fields
We can have fields that will fill the databases in different formats. Some serve to inform the Internet user with Titles, Texts, etc.
Others invite you to "enter" data by forcing the format, for example: email, date, texts, etc.
And others allow "select" actions, for example from a list of countries or from a drop-down list of options.
These fields can be displayed directly on the form tool, or with freedom of design on any page of the web.
 
  • Automatic responses and data collection
Abcore Cadí shows a custom screen after the user has clicked "send the form." You can also send an automated email. You can also send the data collected to an email address, to an external CRM or to the database of the form itself.
  • Control of workflow and exploitation of data
The form administrator can follow a customized workflow on the Abcore Cadí platform itself. Within the administrator you can register the different states of each filled form, for example Received-> Answer-> Accepted.
The system also allows you to export the data in Excel or .csv format
  • Publication of results
Sometimes it is advisable to publish some of the collected data, for example, if we receive support signatures for a campaign. That is why the Data service can display data from the selected fields on the web page, which can be displayed in public, or privately for registered users.
 

A good practice we use at iWith.org

When we call a prize and the organizations present their proposal the following workflow is developed:
  • The Internet user sees the message of thanks in the screen to participate with relevant data
  • The user receives an email through which the status of the application is notified and the next steps to follow
  • If the Internet user visits Google Adwords, the conversion is recorded by linking the published ad with the successful result of the filled form.
  • The person in charge of managing the prizes receives an email alert with the collected data
  • Trello's desk opens a card with the application data in the entrance column, and puts it at the disposal of the scholarship committee that will complete and move the card by evaluating and selecting it through the counter.

On the other hand, Excel exported is used to upload to the massmailing service the list of participants and send with a single click the emails that inform them of the resolution of the committee.
In other organizations, for example mariacanals.org, the excel of participants in the piano contest, serves to complete the participant file on a word with the "Match correspondence" function so that the jury has an authentic book of participants with all the data by hand.
 

Some general tips when designing forms

  • Simplify the form by eliminating all distractions and links that may distract the user from the completion and sending of the form.
  • Simplify the number of "mandatory" fields. It is better that we ask a donor to have an account number by telephone, rather than giving the donor a donation because he did not have the information at hand when filling out the form and then get distracted in other things.
  • We use the appropriate types of fields (fields of number, date, email, etc.) to obtain robust data validation, and thus prevent the data entered from being erroneous and, if there are errors, they are displayed in the same form clearly identifying the wrong fields providing help to solve the error.
  • We comply with data protection laws, requesting permission to manage data informing the rights of the user
  • We protect the forms under https security certificate. This feature is enabled by default on the entire Abcore Cadí platform.

The forms tool is available at Abcore Cadí for all projects, without interrupting the service and at no additional cost.
From iWith.org, we invite the organizations to contact the support service if they wish to improve the visual appearance or functionality of their forms.

2019 - List of selected contestants

The following contestants have been accepted to participate in the 65th International Piano Competition Maria Canals that will be held in Barcelona, between March 23rd to April 4th in Palau de la Música Catalana.

The members of the Selection Committee highlighted the great level of all the candidates. Because of the limited number of contestants that the Competition is able to cover, a lot of contestants with the qualified level to participate were not accepted. From the Competition we encourage them to present their candidature again in the future.

The Secretary of the Competition will send all the selected contestants an email with all the information about Schedule, hotel and registration fee.

DIOM, una palabra corta de largo recorrido

DIOM, una palabra corta de largo recorrido

Hay proyectos que empiezas pero no sabes bien cuándo acabarán ni en qué se convertirán. El documental DIOM ha sido, sin duda, uno de estos casos.

Un proyecto que se inicia con el objetivo de documentar audiovisualmente, la creación de una cooperativa. Dicho así, no parece muy entusiasmante pero el por qué de esa cooperativa y los retos y objetivos de transformación que significa, hacen de la propuesta una imprescindible aventura.

El inicio no fue fácil. Esta cooperativa la han arrancado 15 personas que venían de la venta ambulante no autorizada. Manteras y manteros de la ciudad de Barcelona que, a partir de una iniciativa del Ayuntamiento, impulsan una empresa que permita conseguir sus documentos de residencia y legalizar su actividad.

“Pero, ¿cómo?, ¿con cámaras?, ¿que nos van a grabar?” La primera reacción fue negativa. Les pedíamos a estas personas que aceptasen nuestra presencia de forma cotidiana para grabar sus espacios de formación y trabajo. Y que se comportasen como si no estuviésemos. Les pedíamos que confiaran en nosotras sin conocernos.

“Lo que no entendéis es que para nosotros, la presencia de cámaras siempre ha significado problemas. Detrás de una cámara aparece la policía”

Y esa es la realidad. La realidad que se nos muestra, la realidad que crea significados, la realidad que nos separa.

‘La manta’. Qué gran lienzo para exponer los productos generados por el racismo: las vallas, los muros, las leyes de extranjería inhumanas, el miedo, la explotación, los intereses económicos, la violencia, los nacionalismos y fanatismos, la exclusión.

Pues no. Pues esta cámara no es una amenaza. Esta cámara está aquí para crear otras imágenes, para resignificar la realidad, para crear relaciones que nos acerquen.

Y así comenzamos a caminar a su lado, observando, encuadrando, registrando. Reuniones y reuniones, formaciones diversas, solicitudes de arraigo, la espera de unos papeles, debates, ventas y mercados, recetas, precariedad, aprendizajes y errores y un gran valor humano y comunitario.

Diomcoop es un proyecto valiente pero también complicado. Intenta dar respuesta a un problema del sistema y abrir camino a otro paradigma en el que la dignidad no sea cuestionable. ¿Es que lo era? Lamentablemente, la mayor parte de la sociedad, no somos conscientes de las repercusiones que ejercen las leyes migratorias sobre la vida de las personas.

Sin embargo, el proyecto plantea una propuesta, una actitud proactiva en la búsqueda de soluciones. Y en eso coincidimos plenamente. Desde Quepo apostamos por el valor de transformación del documental propositivo, más allá del de la denuncia.

Así que con un pequeño gran equipo, hemos grabado el proceso de creación de Diomcoop durante un año y medio. Era imprescindible contar con gente con una gran sensibilidad y mirada limpia, así que nadie mejor que María López Nova como dire de foto, una gran compañera. Y a la hora de digerir y ordenar las casi 200 horas de material, el currazo de Gemma Alfós ha sido fundamental. Y luego, ¿cómo ser capaces de condensar tantas capas en un docu de 30 minutos? Y ahí aparece Sofi Escudé, como un regalo que nos ayuda a estructurar lo esencial. Todas las personas que han formado parte en el proyecto, han sido fundamentales.

Y es que este proyecto acaba finalmente, con satisfacción y con mucho agradecimiento. Porque al final, qué suerte haber encontrado a Omar, Oumar, Ousseynou, Dieye, Aba, Pape, Ouli, Marie, Dame, Fatou, Kebba, Abdou Seck, Marietou, Kara, Cheikh, Thiam y Top que hayan accedido a compartir con nosotras este intenso periodo de sus vidas. Y qué bonito haber compartido todo esto con Tati, Baye, Guernica, Silvia, Xavi, Jesús, Ignacio, Patrick, Laura e Isabel, que se han convertido en compañeras en esta aventura.

iWith.org, is already part of the map of entities of the Solidarity Economy of Catalonia

iWith.org, is already part of the map of entities of the Solidarity Economy of Catalonia

The Pam a Pam project evaluates all those entities that meet the criteria of social transformation through the democratization of the economy and sustainability.

iWith.org has been included in the map of the social and solidarity economy (ESS) in Catalonia of the Pam a Pam project. It is a collaborative map and a tool for social transformation, which shows initiatives that meet ESS criteria to facilitate responsible consumption.



Pam a Pam works to know in depth each initiative that shows on the map. To do this, it elaborates a questionnaire with 15 criteria that analyze the sustainability of the initiatives, the care of the work team or the community, the social impact of these in their surroundings and the environmental impact.

These 15 criteria are:
 
Internal democracy, personal development, feminist perspective, working conditions, suppliers, intercooperation, free and open licenses, transparency, financial management, social cohesion, social transformation, territorial roots, environmental sustainability, waste management, energy consumption.
 
Among all of these criteria, iWith.org stands out for its internal democracy, personal development, working conditions, intercooperation, free licenses, transparency, transformative finances, social cohesion and its territorial roots.
 
We are happy to be part of this movement of entities that share similar values, such as social transformation through democratization of the economy, self-management of work, prioritization of people above capital and relationships based in the cooperation and the sustainability of life.
