No action
Form data is not submitted. This option is useful if you want
to temporarily disable data collection or if you haven't yet
set up scripting or Serif Web Resources. At a later time you
can edit the form (right-click then choose Edit Form
Properties...) and select a valid submission method.
email
address
Use this option to bypass the usual POST/GET submission
methods. When the Submit button is pressed the web
visitor's default email program is launched. The form data
(passed in a single string) is added to the email body and is
ready to be sent to the configured email destination.
Especially useful if there is no local or remote scripting in
place.
This is an unsecure submission method—any
private or confidential information will be not be
encrypted.
To set up email directly:
1. With the icon enabled, add a Form name.
2. Enter the destination email address in the drop-down
menu.
Serif Web
Resources
Not everyone will have access to or even want to operate
their own Web server so, as an alternative to this, you can
use
Serif Web Resources (see p. 306). This is a free Web to
email gateway service which will transit your valued form
data via Serif and send it to your personal email address—
the service does require that you firstly have a Serif Web
resources login (for security reasons), which will allow you
to create, edit and delete your own email destinations; these
are called Form Email Targets.
To set up Serif Web Resources:
1. Select Serif Web Resources and add a Form name.
2. Click the Select button and login to Serif Web
Resources.
