Form Administration 

Overview

As an administrator of an Essentials plan or higher, you have control over your users' forms.

Search for a Form

You can search for a particular form by navigating to Admin Dashboard → Forms → All Forms.

You can search for a form by the Form ID, Form Name, Form Content, Form Owner (username), Email (of the owner), User ID (of the owner), Form Spam Filter, Builder Version, and Status.

If you choose to search by form content, this will search all field labels, all HTML content, and all text content. 

If you choose to search by status, you will be able to filter by "Active", "Archived", or “Deleted” status. 

These search options can be applied as Filters, and combined with either ‘AND’ or ‘OR’ logic to further refine your search queries. To apply filters, select the Filter (funnel) button within the search bar and configure your choices.

The All Forms list can be sorted by each column using the arrow icons next to each column header (Form ID, Form Name, Form Owner, Response Count, Active Connectors, Connector Errors, and Last Edited Date). 

Once you have found the form you are looking for, you can perform any of the functions described below.

Change Form Owner

You may transfer the ownership of a form to another user. This is useful when a user is leaving the organization, or when the creator is not going to be maintaining the form. To change ownership of a form:

1. Look up the User ID of the new owner with the User tab search
2. Look up the Form ID of the form you'll be transferring, under the All Forms search
3. Browse to: Admin Dashboard | Forms | All Forms
4. Search for the Form ID you found above
5. Click the vertical ellipsis on the right to select Edit Properties
6. Select the new owner's User ID (step 1) from the Owner Username dropdown menu
7. Click Apply

Delete Forms

To delete a form:

1. Browse to: Admin Dashboard | Forms | All Forms 
2. Search for the form you want to delete
3. Click the vertical ellipsis on the right to go to Edit Properties
4. Under Expired, check the "Check to delete this form" box
5. Click Apply

You can undo this action and restore a form. See below for details.

Restore a Form

To restore a form:

1. Browse to: Admin Dashboard | Forms | All Forms 
2. Search for the form you want to restore
3. Click the vertical ellipsis on the right to go to Edit Properties
4. Under Expired uncheck the "Check to delete this form" box
5. Click Apply

The form will become available again, and collected data will be restored.

Preview Forms

You can preview forms that you have selected to be templates.

• Browse to: Admin Dashboard | Templates
• Click on the Preview button next to the form.

Forms will not submit a response from this page.

Here’s an overview of what you can change as an administrator on the Edit Properties page:

• Enable/Disable SSL
• Enable/Disable Captcha
• Enable/Disable Save & Resume

Changing Form and Workflow Ownership as a User without Administration Permissions

Any user account that is an owner of a form may transfer ownership of their form to any other user account within their FormAssembly instance without administrative restrictions. This means that form ownership transfer is no longer required to be completed by an admin, freeing up administrators to complete other tasks.

• If you would like your users to transfer ownership of their own forms, please navigate them to our Form Collaboration article.
• If you would like your users to transfer ownership of their own workflows, please navigate them to our Workflow Collaboration article.
