    Hi Ali,

    It's not clear what do you want to do.

    Form that contains a sensitive data?

    Where do you store the sata? how user can save this data?

    Do you mean in backend? - You can disable Forms section from Users see at http://www.screencast.com/t/JhdOyBMvwzne

    I hope we will help you.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hello Alex,

    My goal was to create a form that invites the user to enter sensitive data then send the result by email to a specific receiver.

    I used the plugin "Umbraco forms", my problem is that it stores the data in the database after each successful submit before sending the email.

    I would like to disable the storing step => i don't want to store anything

    Is there a boolean somewhere to flag ?

    Thank you by advance,

    Ali

    Hi Ali,

    by default this is not possible with Umbraco Forms, but we've created a package called Umbraco Forms on Perplex Steroids (https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/umbraco-forms-on-perplex-steroids/) that adds a workflow-item that allows you to delete directly the entry that is saved for exactly this purpose (forms with sensitive data).

    So you can first insert the workflow that you would like to execute (post XML, send email, etcetera) and then insert this new workflow that would delete this entry. After this you cannot find the data any longer.

    Hope this helps,

    Jeffrey

    Hello Jeffrey,

    I just have an other question. I tried this plugin, I see that all values have been replaced by "-", is it possible to remove the "form submission entry" directly ? So the counter doesn't increment, and we can't have any information about the form.

    Thank you by advance, Ali

    Hi Ali,

    I have to recall it from my memory but the reason we did this was there isn't something like a 'cancel event' in Forms so this was the only possibility without to much hacking.

    You can look in our sourcecode (https://github.com/PerplexInternetmarketing/Perplex-Umbraco-Forms) or maybe ask it to Mr Umbraco Forms (https://twitter.com/warrenbuckley) and he know a better way.

    Keep me informed if you have a better implementation/idea!

    Regards, Jeffrey

    As of Umbraco Forms v7+ (I think, correct me if I am wrong) there is this option in the settings area of a form: enter image description here

    This was added I believe because of all the European GDPR rules. It does exactly what you need which is it does not store the information in the DB but you can run additional workflow items such as sending an email with all the data.
