When a user fills out and submits the form, the details are stored in the database as a submission. You can view, edit, delete and export these submissions via the Form Contents asset in the Asset Map. You can also display the submissions in an Asset Listing page within your site.

Enabling and Disabling Logging of Submissions

By default, the logging of submissions is turned on. To disable the logging of submissions, right click on the Form Contents asset in the Asset Map and select Submission Logs. Select No in the Log Submissions field and click Commit. The submissions will no longer be logged to the database.

While you are setting up and testing the Custom Form, it may be a good idea to turn the logging of submissions off so that the test information is not kept in the database. Once you are ready to make the form Live, you should turn it back on.

To enable the logging of submissions, select Yes in the Log Submissions field and click Commit.

Viewing a Submission in the Administration Interface

To view a submission that has been made and logged to the database, right click on the Form Contents asset in the Asset Map and select Submission Logs. In the Submissions section, click on the Expand box for the submission you want to view and click Commit. The information that the user submitted will appear on the screen, as shown in the figure below.

Viewing a submission

If the Restrict Submission Access setting on the Form Contents screen is set to Yes, only users with Admin Access will be able to view and edit the form submissions.

Editing a Submission

To edit a submission that has been made and logged to the database, right click on the Form Contents asset in the Asset Map and select Submission Logs. In the Submissions section, click on the Edit link for the submission you want to edit. The Details screen for that submission will appear, where you can edit the information that the user has submitted.

Deleting a Submission

To delete a submission that has been made and logged to the database, right click on the Form Contents asset in the Asset Map and select Submission Logs. In the Submissions section, click on the Delete box link for the submission you want to delete and click Commit. The submission will be removed from the database.

Finding a Submission

If you know the ID of the submission you want to view, enter it into the Quick Search box in the top right hand corner of the Administration Interface. The Details screen for that submission will appear where you can view the details of the submission.

Exporting the Submissions

To export the submissions to a CSV or XML file, right click on the Form Contents asset in the Asset Map and select Submission Logs. In the Export section, select the type of file you want to download in the Format field and click Download File. You will be prompted to choose whether to open the file or save it.

Submissions Folder

The Submissions Folder

When you create a Custom Form, a Submissions Folder is automatically created beneath it, as shown in the figure to the right. All submissions that have been made on the form are stored as assets under this Folder. These assets, however, will not be viewable in the Asset Map as they are TYPE_3 linked assets.

The Submissions Folder allows you to change the permissions for the assets. By default, Public Read access is denied to all submissions. To change the permissions, right click on the Submissions Folder and select Permissions.

If you have a single step form, the form submissions are created into this folder once the submission is complete. As in, when the user sees the "Thank You" page of the form.

Incomplete Submissions

The Incomplete Submissions Folder

When using a Custom Form with multiple pages, submissions not yet completed are stored as Incomplete Submissions.

These submissions are stored in the database under the automatically created folder Incomplete Submissions, as shown in the figure to the right.

These assets, however, will not be viewable in the Asset Map as they are TYPE_3 linked assets. Incomplete Submissions will remain in the database until they are completed and transferred to the Submissions Folder.

Displaying the Submissions via an Asset Listing

The submissions that are made on a Custom Form can be viewed on the Frontend of your site via an Asset Listing page. The Asset Listing page should be configured as follows:

• Asset Types to List: select Form Submission.
• Root Node: select the Submissions Folder.
• Direct Links Only: select Yes.
• Link Types: select TYPE_3.

You can also add a Type Formats Bodycopy for the Form Submission to layout out the Asset Listing page. Additional keyword replacements are available on this Bodycopy to show each question and the response that was submitted. The formats of these keyword replacements are as follows:

• %question_name_X_qY%: this will show the Title of the question. X is the first half of the asset ID of the question and qY is the second half. For example, if the asset ID of the question you want to show is 89:q1, X is 89 and qY is q1. In this case, the format of the keyword replacement would be %question_name_89_q1%.
• %question_answer_X_qY%: this will show the response to the question for the submission. X is the first half of the asset ID of the question and qY is the second half. For example, if the asset ID of the question you want to show is 89:q1, X is 89 and qY is q1. In this case, the format of the keyword replacement would be %question_answer_89_q1%.
