I am using sitecore 7.2 rev. 140228, We have some default tracking in Sitecore WFFM that could be seen in advance field under standard fields.
Client asked us where is report for this tracking and where we can review this events etc ... I have tried but could not found any way to get this tracking report.
There are WFFM reports in your Sitecore desktop under the Sitecore start button -> All Applications -> Web Forms Form Marketers -> Form Reports
In there, you can select the form you want to see the report of. Reports include things such how many people have filled in the form, how many dropped out and the values of the fields when they are filled (if you've enabled form dropout tracking).
Alternatively, if you're just interested in which goals have been triggered on which page you could potentially find this in the Executive Dashboard (haven't used 7.2 in a while so not sure anymore which data it shows) or you'd have to write a SQL query and query the database.
Use button "Form Reports" on your ribbon:

Recently our oracle apex application got upgraded to version 5.1.3. Ever since the upgrade, I am having trouble creating a tabular form or an editable interactive grid on any existing page.
I could create an editable interactive grid on a new page and then add other regions to the page. However, I can't seem to do the other way around. I do not see any options to select an interactive grid in either 'Create Form Region' or in 'Create Report Region'.
Here's the list of options I see when I try to create a form region on the current page:
And for the Report region on the current page:
And for Form Region on a new page:
I couldn't find anyone having such issues in any of the forums, which makes me believe that I must be missing something way too obvious. Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Click Create Page. In a list of possible options, you'll see the Legacy Page at the bottom of the list - choose it. In there, you'll see the "Tabular Form" you're looking for.
[EDIT] (as here's much more space to type than in the comment)
I have an old application created back in Apex 4.x. It was not migrated to 5.x (currently, I'm on 5.1.1), only Apex was upgraded to a more recent version, while that application runs "as is". I'm writing this because - maybe true "upgrading" makes things different ...
Anyway: I opened that "old" application and went to edit a page that contains a "Static content" region. Then I added a new region. In a list of possible region types, there's the "Show Legacy/Unsupported ..." at the bottom of the list. I chose it; the "Type" list collapses, but when I returned back to it, it shows "Tabular Form [Legacy]".
If I choose it, I get the message saying
This will just create the tabular form and not the associated processes and validations. To generate the related processes and validations please use the Create Page wizard".
Does this help?
This is a two part question.
Using Web Forms for Marketers 2.3:
Is it possible to have a cookie be created on successful submission?
Without actually exporting the ascx file, would like to keep it in Sitecore.
Second question, would it be better to have a content editor choose which item has the form or would it be better/easier to have a dropdown to pick which form is needed and then have the code determine which form to show.
Thank for any insight!!!
For the First question,
If you have Sitecore DMS, on a successful submission there is an event, and a Goal maybe you can use that, insteed of a cookie.
See https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore%20experience%20platform/personalization/walkthrough%20personalizing%20components for using it with personalization rules the picturs are for Sitecore 8 but basically the same for Sitecore 6.5+
Programmatically you can use the Analytics API, see https://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/65/engagement_analytics_api_cookbook_sc65-a4.pdf for Sitecore 6. The API has changed considerably with Sitecore 7.5.
An alternative is to set the cookie on the Success page.
you can have a Success page, or a Success message in WFFM. for a message use something like this:
Thanks <script>document.cookie="formsuccess=ok";</script>
For a webshop i'm using Sitecore Webforms For Marketers. There is a multiple server configuration with 2 Content Delivery Server(CDS) and 1 Content Management Server(CMS). On the CDS servers is no possibility to write data, so i have configured a webservice to forward the form data from the CDS to the CMS server.
What's the goal? There are 2 forms where a user can:
Post a review for a product at the products detail page
Post a review for a product and select the product in a dropdownlist at a global
page
The problem is that i have less experience with Sitecore Webforms For Marketers. It's important that the review's parent item the right product is. I have read the developer manual and figured out there are several save actions, but not the one i prefer. Do I need to create a custom save action or is there a simple workaroud (e.g. with workflows)?
Thanks a lot!

Create a save action that calls your web service and submits the data to your CM instance.
I've created a few web forms (WFFM) in Page Editor (Tell a friend and 2 blank forms), but they don't appear in the site after I published them. What can it be? Thanks in advance.
If you can see this form in the page editor but not on your website this is pointing out it has something to do with publishing. Try to open your environment in Desktop mode (when login in u can select it) and re-check if u can see all the items in the web database. For example if your placeholder settings are not published you will find this behavior to happen. Recheck all items that need to be published (layouts / sublayouts / placeholder settings / form itself / form fields etc.) and that should solve your problem.

The issue (#347688) has been fixed in Sitecore CMS 6.5.0 rev. 120427 (6.5.0 Update-4) and DMS 2.0.1 rev. 120427
We have been asked to explain where the editor can customize the campaign tracking url, they have seen the feature when participating in Sitecore Training sessions, but can't find the features in the our platform that is currently fully updated.
It seems to me the feature has been removed otherwise it is hidden in {3AC13180-912F-4388-AF56-46A0F1172E70} that is missing in the DMS Installation, when looking at the insert options for the Campaign Item.
Does anyone have insight on the topic ? and if the feature is still present or has been removed for another model.
OMS / Custom Campaign tracking URL
When looking at the old documentation for Sitecore OMS the section related OMS Creating Campaign Events, it should be possible for the Editor to personalize the incomming url parameter that triggers the page visit to attach to a specific campaign.
Reference: "OMS Creating Campaign Events" page 13-14
http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/64/online%20marketing%20suite%20cookbook-usletter.pdf
Engagement Analytics / No Custom Campaign tracking URL (?)
In the new DMS 2.0 / Engagement Analytics there are also Page events, and they should be attachable to Campaigns. But we can't seem to create anything under the Campaign definition even tho the first line in the documentation suggests it. Looking at the Insert options on the campaign there is a missing id: {3AC13180-912F-4388-AF56-46A0F1172E70} that suggest the installation is missing an Item for this feature to function.
Reference: "Engagement Analytics Page Events" page 6-7
http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/65/engagement_analytics_configuration_reference_sc65-usletter.pdf
Campaigns
You can associate events with specific campaigns. To register a
campaign event, beneath the campaign definition item, insert a
campaign event definition item using the System/Analytics/Campaign
data template. You can activate the campaign using the value of the
sc_camp query string parameter or you can assign a campaign to a
content item, such as a landing page. For more information about
campaigns, see the section Campaign. To change the name of the sc_camp
query string parameter, see the section The
Analytics.CampaignQueryStringKey Setting.
I have been in contact with Sitecore Support and they responded that the option of customizing the url that triggers the campaign has been removed. The documentation is misleading on the subject and they have registered it as a bug.
So yoursite.net/?sc_camp={ID of the campaign item here} or using a landing page with the campaign as trigger is currently the only way to monitor incoming links from a campaign, unless custom code is build.
Thanks for the answers.

The issue (#347688) has been fixed in Sitecore CMS 6.5.0 rev. 120427 (6.5.0 Update-4) and DMS 2.0.1 rev. 120427
Mentioned ID {3AC13180-912F-4388-AF56-46A0F1172E70} used to be a Campaign Event template. Campaign Events are no longer used, as they were replaced by Campaign in Sitecore DMS.
In order to track it, use the following URL format: yoursite.net/?sc_camp={ID of the campaign item here}
I just wanted to add in that although it might be what they know and what they want to use, the reason that it's so obscured is because that's really not how you should be doing things and its not a practice I'd recommend since it's not really guaranteed to be tracked. The structure of DMS and the underlying database is such that I'd stick to setting things up by associating things with a campaign. Tracking is done in large part via page events that are triggered... but just amending a url will trigger a visit and a new page, but not a page event to be created unless there is something associated with that item that will trigger an event.
Campaigns are typically associated with items, or events, or engagement plans or any number of different elements of DMS. In all cases, there's a tab on the item that has an option to check the campaign to associate it with. That's how you want to be doing this which ensures that a page event is properly created and associated with the campaign.
