Settings Options

The following options are available in Forms Settings:

• Store Records

  By default, all submitted records are saved in the database. This option allows you to view and export the saved records from the queries overview. If you do not want to store data (due to policies in your organisation), you can uncheck the box.

  

• Captions

  Customize the labels of the Submit, Next, and Previous buttons used in your Form.

  

• Styling

  Set a stylesheet to give your Form custom styling. You have an option to disable the default styling. Enabling the Disable default stylesheet option will prevent a default stylesheet to be added to the pages where the Form is placed.

  

• Validation

  Define a message that is displayed when a field is mandatory, when a value is not supplied, or when the value is invalid.

  

  The following Validations are available:

  Validation Type	Description
  Mandatory error message	The error message is displayed for a field that is marked as mandatory but a value has not been provided upon submission. This setting can be overwritten on a field level - {0} will be replaced with the field caption.
  Invalid error message	The error message is displayed for a field if the value provided is not valid (a regular expression has been setup but the input does not match). This setting can be overwritten on a field level - {0} will be replaced with the field caption.
  Show validation summary	Enable this option if you wish to display a summary of all the error messages on top of the Form.
  Hide field validation labels	Enable this option if you wish to hide individual field error messages from being displayed.

• Moderation

  Enabling this feature allows the moderator to approve or deny a Form before its published. Most Forms contain publicly shown entries such as blog post comments or submissions for a social campaign and you can decide what's being published online with the help of this option.
