> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

The [Forms](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/managing-website-content/forms.md) application enables content editors to create and publish on-line forms. Forms can be used to gather structured data from website users. A typical example of such a form is the **Contact Us** form, which can be found on the **Company** page of the sample Corporate Site.

In this chapter, you can learn how to configure forms so that content editors can use them on the site. Specifically, you can learn about:

Forms were previously known as **BizForms** and sometimes are also referred to as **On-line forms**. However, do not mistake them for [Alternative forms](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/configuring-kentico/creating-alternative-forms.md), which are used as alternative representations of existing forms and tables.

Each form has its own separate database table where submitted data is stored. The submitted data can be viewed and managed in the **Forms** application, where the administration interface of the Forms module is located.

> **Tip:** **Specifying form object type**
>
> If you need to specify a form _object type_—in a web part, for example—use the following naming convention:
>
> _BizformItem.Bizform._
>
> For example, a form with code name _ContactUs_would have an object type in the following format:
>
> _BizformItem.Bizform.ContactUs_
