Installation of CGI on your server by our technical team, if required, is included in the price.

There are significant additions in v5.x as compared to previous versions. These enhancements make CGI*Star Professional unique among all form handling software.

Suitable for UNIX-based or Windows-based webserver.

The CGI created with this software will work on all UNIX-based (e.g. BSD/OS, Solaris, Linux, Cobalt, apache webserver, etc.) and all Windows-based (e.g. NT, IIS, Win98, Win2000, WinME, WinXP, etc.) webservers.

Use the CGI on your server or on WebGenie's Secure Server.

The evaluation version will run only via WebGenie's server. With the registered version you can have the option to reside the CGI on own server or continue to use WebGenie's server. For this, all you have to do is check a radio button to select. There is no physical transfer of CGI file to our server. Note: There is a monthly subscription fee for the use of WebGenie's server to run the CGI. 

Mask selected form fields in copy email.

It is now possible to specify one or more addresses in the 'Main Email Address' field and one or more in the 'Copy Email Address' field. The latter address can be set to receive some form input fields masked. For example, the card number can be masked in the copy email.

Single or Multiple Page Input

The input from a form can be either emailed straight away or carried to another page, which has more input fields, and continued until all inputs are collected. e.g. a multi-page input for collecting user data, billing details, shipping details and credit card info on separate pages. These sequential input pages can be edited to suit and resided on your server even when the CGI runs off WebGenie's server.

Text or HTML Mail Format

It is now possible to specify whether the input should be mailed as plain text file, HTML format or both. It is also possible to use a template HTML to format the mail precisely how you want it to look.

Uses your mail server or automatically uses WebGenie's mail server if problem.

When the CGI is residing on your server, it will try to use your mail server first. If any problem(s), the mail will be automatically re-routed through WebGenie's server. This ensures that the input is never lost due to server problems.

Store the form input in file on server in comma or tab-delimited format.

This option lets you add the form input cumulatively into a text file for later importing into a database or spreadsheet. You can specify the fields to be stored. The CGI must reside on your server.

Store the form input in file and do not send the email.

Same as above except that no email is sent. If concerned about security of email, you can choose this option to write the data in file and view it via secure server connection.

Send the mail with only the filled form fields or all.

Sending only the filled fields will make the mail smaller and easier to read. On the other hand, sending all fields will retain the order in which the fields appear.

Display the mail contents to user

If checked, this will show the input on the acknowledgment page. Useful if the user has to be able to print and keep it as a record. It is possible to customize the looks, as well as define which fields to be included in the acknowledgment/invoice page.

Customizable Acknowledgment/Invoice Page

The page to be shown to the visitor can be customized. For example, it can be formatted to appear as a printable invoice. See the previous paragraph.

Mail a thank you note

If checked, this will send a thanks email to the visitor. If a text file containing the message is included, it will be read into the message. Otherwise, the acknowledgment message typed into the program will be used. Note: Use of text file for message requires the CGI to be resided on your server.

Automatic redirection

The acknowledgment page can be set to show for specified number of seconds and then automatically redirected to another URL. If no acknowledgment page is to be shown, just uncheck its button or specify a value of 0 in the time delay field.

Customizable Colors and Font for Pages

The colors and font to be used on CGI-generated pages can be configured through color dialogs. 

The enhancements in version 5 makes CGI*Star Professional unique among all form handling software available.
