OMR Template Editor
Create your own customized OMR forms in FormReturn, using the segment and form template editors. FormReturn has built-in template editors, (they are the Segment Editor and the Form Editor) which allows you to write, draw, import graphics, add barcodes and most importantly, easily add multiple checkboxes.
Segment Editor
As discussed in the segments feature page, segments contain the checkbox mark areas used for the optical mark recognition capture of response data. Use the checkbox tool in the segment editor toolbar to quickly and easily add checkboxes to the segment form. Use the text tool to add text areas anywhere you want and start typing.

Use the Segment tool in the Form Editor toolbar, to create an empty segment area on the form template for segments to be loaded into. Select the Segment tool then click and drag an area on the form where the segment is to be loaded. Click and drag to make the area larger and move it around on the form or use the Element panel at the left. To load segments see Part 2 of the Quick Start Guide.
Use the Barcode tool to add a Form ID Barcode. A Form ID Barcode must be added to every page of a form template for identification purposes. FormReturn uses the form ID barcode to reconcile captured response data with the data record of the form's respondent and the form template it belongs to. To add barcodes see Part 2 of Quick Start Guide.
