    Umbraco Forms Store Records

    If the checkbox under store records is clicked in the back office of umbraco forms to "Yes, keep submitted records in a database so they can be viewed and exported later." It says "Check this box to save submitted records in a database. This will allow you to view and export them from the queries overview. If you don't want to store data (due to policies in your organization), leave the box un-checked." If umbraco forms is stored in sql, if the entries are deleted from the back office, are they also deleted in sql with this button checked or are they retrievable in sql still because this is checked?

    Welcome @Bobi,

    They are deleted in sql after the steps below: Store Records

    Form entry in DB

    Delete entry from the backoffice removes the record too.

    Hi @Tarik! So if you choose to store records and then delete the form entries in the back office, they are deleted in the database as well?

    What is the point of the checkbox then to store records? If you don't choose to store records by unchecking that checkbox, what is the difference? I'm using Umbraco 8 by the way.

    Correct!

    Disabling this option will prevent database records from being stored, but any file uploads made as part of the form submission will still be retained. If you do not want the files to be stored, ensure that any process or method used to process, move, or copy them to a different location also removes the file.

    So if database records are prevented from being stored, based on the documentation, where is it being stored in the interim for the back end user to view the submissions, or would they not be able to view the submissions?

    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 organization), you can uncheck the box.

    Disabling it means nothing to view!

    What UX you want to achieve Bobi?

    Do you recommend any UX for Umbraco CMS?
