Questions about forms and submissions

1) When inviting someone to complete a form by email, must I send the invite via the app page, or is it possible to simply send a link?

2) Do returned forms only come back to the app server or may I designate another email for returns?

3) Do return forms only display the completed information, or is there a way to have them returned as a completed form including all text and instructions that are on the form?

Thank you!

Hello there,

1) When inviting someone to complete a form by email, must I send the invite via the app page, or is it possible to simply send a link?

You can send the form via email using the app page by following the guide below.

You can also just copy the form URL/link and send it via email manually.

2) Do returned forms only come back to the app server or may I designate another email for returns?

To clarify, do you want a copy of the submissions to be sent to your email or the email of someone else?

If so, you may create an email notification.

3) Do return forms only display the completed information, or is there a way to have them returned as a completed form including all text and instructions that are on the form?

If you want to see/download a copy of the submissions with all the text and instructions that are on the form, you may go to your form's PDF Editor.
