Manage Form Responses

Information on how to manage form responses in MinistryPlatform, including options to view responses as well as response notification and storage.

When someone submits a custom form, you can find their response in several places:

A SPoC can set up a process to notify a user when someone submits a custom form response.

Your Global Filter permissions may limit the forms or form responses that you can see. A form response's congregation is set automatically based on:

The congregation set on the related event.
The congregation associated with the program of the related opportunity.
The congregation associated with the program of the related pledge campaign.
The congregation assigned to the form.
The congregation assigned to the related Contact record (this does not apply to the default contact).

View Responses

There are several ways to view individual responses to a custom form:

The Selected Form Responses report organizes each response into a document.

Tip: If you run the report on a large selection of records and it times out, break your selection into smaller pieces and run it again.
To see a single submission, open any Form Response record and read the individual's submission. Form answers display on the Answers tab.
If you use the Custom Form widget, users can drag-and-drop or browse to upload files through custom form answers. If someone completes the form through a non-widget application, it does not create a form answer. Files store as attachments on the Form Field Answer record in the Platform.
