What are the 'Submissions' and 'Export' tabs?

Submissions allow you to view new form entries that are being collected:

  • Note that if the email on the form and record is unique, incoming forms are automatically mapped to a corresponding record on Data Studio.

  • Unmapped forms can be mapped manually.

Export allows you to export all the entries and view them on a spreadsheet.

Can I use forms to create surveys on Almabase?

Yes, you can:

  1. Create a new form of the type "To conduct a survey."

  2. You can also add a 'description' to help users understand the purpose of the survey.

  3. Once the form is set up, you can share it via

    1. Email (by attaching the form URL to the email)

    2. Social media

Why are options on a form field getting split after saving the form?

A comma might have been used. Since commas in the form field options are considered separators, it causes splitting. Remove commas to resolve the issue.
