You can change the following settings:

  • One entry per username
    The form can be filled out and submitted only once by a particular user. If the same user tries to submit the form more than once, the system displays an error massage.
    Use this option only if there is user registration prior to submitting the form.
  • No restrictions: Everyone can submit unlimited number of entries
    The form can be submitted unlimited number of times from the same user and IP.
• After submission...
  In this radio button group, you choose what happens after a user submits the form. Select one of the following:

  • Redirect to a page...
    After submitting the form the system redirects the user to another page of the website.
    In the input field that appears, enter the URL of the page from your website, which you want to open when the form is submitted. For example, About-us.
