Save the form submission data to a database table

It will be handy to have the form submissions saved to a database table. Let's see how we can have Simfatic Forms do that.

 

1. Open the Simfatic Forms project File

You should have saved the Simfatic Forms project file for the feedback form.

 

Open the file using Simfatic Forms.

 

2. Update the Form Processing Options

  • Select the 'Form Processing Options' page.
  • Enable the option 'Save the form submission data to a file in the server'

3. Select the fields to save

Press Next button to reach the 'Save to Database' page. You can select the fields to be saved this page. Leave all the fields selected and press the 'Next' button.

 

4. Install the form again

  • Select the 'Take the code' page
  • Ensure that the correct server is selected.
  • Press the 'Re-Install form' button.
  • follow the steps in the 'take the code' wizard

Viewing form submissions

Saving to a database table lets you view the form submissions online.
