Hi,
I am kind of new to drupal and working on my first drupal project.
I need to create a human resources page where anonymous users can fill a form to submit their skillset and personal information. In addition, the hr department should be able to sort those resumes and filter them according to the criteria they choose.
I tried webforms and created the form which was exactly the way i wanted, but when it comes to viewing the data I cannot manage to sort or filter at all. Since it places all the data in one row, even viewing everything (without sorting/filtering) is not user-friendly.
When I browse the forum, cck is shown as an alternative to webforms most of the time. And I know I can make good use of cck+views to create data display pages for the hr department. But I want the anonymous users to make submissions instead of creating content. That's why I don't want to use cck for this matter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I have no clue what you mean when you say you "want the anonymous users to make submissions instead of creating content" but yes, this is typically done with cck. Webforms serves a very different use case and does not create individual nodes for submissions.

First of thanks for your reply and sorry for my weak explanation.
What I was trying to say is that I want to have a page with the application form. Not a new content type. Most of the people using this page would be visitors, not users of the site. So I don't want to give visitors the permission to create content.
But it seems it is not possible to achieve this functionality with the webforms module.

You can do this with webforms-- but the result will not be an individual node for each submission. Again, if you want the data to end up in a node, then you need to use a content type. If you create a separate content type for this you can only give the anonymous role permission to only create content for that one content type-- it will have no other affect on your site.
I will consider cck in a
I will consider cck in a broader prospect because I need submissions as individual nodes. And this arises another question: is there a way to edit the title of the creation page of that specific conten type?
