ordered and rearranged. Form field properties can also be edited

Submission of forms
All forms have one thing in common—they must be submitted to allow
data to be collected. This is done by the website visitor using a dedicated
Submit button available as a form field when using Form Designer or
when creating a form from scratch. The button needs to be present on
the form and is typically used with a Reset button to clear all form fields
of data.
Where is data sent?
After submission, form data can be sent to one of the following:
• Serif Web Resources; for transit of submitted form data to
your email (via Serif).
• an email address (of the web developer).
• a script file (stored locally or remotely); this could write text to
a text file or into a server database.
These submission options can be set up within Form Designer, using the
Form Submission tab. Options have shared settings or settings
independent of each other.
