CMS

Password-protected PDF Forms

To make RFPs secure and in some cases HIPPA compliant, Milestone CMS does not store form data on our databases and this information is now transmitted via a PDF. Let’s see how you can create HIPAA compliant forms using ‘Send Data Via Secure PDF’.

Milestone CMS > Manage Forms

Step 1: Click on ‘Manage Forms’ under ‘Marketing Tools’ in the left navigation panel of the Milestone CMS Dashboard.

When a form is submitted it will now be sent directly to the business in a Password Protected PDF document. 

Third Party Integrations for Forms

Milestone CMS lets users integrate their forms with third party CRMs for streamlining data entry processes as the form submissions are directly integrated into the CRM and improving data accuracy as forms data is transferred directly into the CRM system, minimizing the risk of transcription errors or incomplete information.

Milestone CMS > Manage Forms > Settings

Step 1: Search for ‘Manage Forms’ in the top search bar of Milestone CMS.

Your form data will now automatically reflect on the third-party CRM as well.

Insights 

INP data is displayed in Milestone Insights and DPR

INP observes the latency of all website visitor events (click, tap, and keyboard) interactions with a page throughout its lifespan, and reports the longest duration, ignoring outliers. A good INP (below 200ms) means the page is consistently able to respond quickly to most user interactions. 

Milestone Insights > Page Experience > Core Web Vitals 

Step 1: Click on ‘Page Experience’ in the left navigation panel of Milestone Insights.
