Choose submission columns and allow drafts

Control what your team sees in the inbox, and let people finish later.

1. Open Form Data

   In the form builder, open the settings rail and choose Form Data. It controls how this form's submissions behave and how they are displayed to your team.

2. Choose the visible columns

   Column visibility decides which fields appear as columns in the submissions table. A long form produces an unreadable table by default — show the handful of fields your team scans, and leave the rest to the detail view.

3. Decide which row actions your team gets

   The view and delete actions on each row can be enabled separately. Turning delete off is a reasonable safeguard on a form where records must be retained.

4. Allow draft submissions

   Enable Form submit as draft to let a respondent submit before they are finished and come back to edit. Drafts appear in your Drafts area rather than mixing into completed responses.

5. Tell your team what a draft means

   A draft is not a finished answer. Make sure whoever works the inbox knows not to act on one until the respondent completes it.
