Submission object

The submission object allows you to retrieve data from your form submissions.

Properties

id

The event's unique ID, which is also the element ID.

incrementalId

The unique incremental ID of the submission (not element ID).

title

The submission's title.

dateCreated

The DateTime object of when the submission was submitted.

author

The author of the submission, when submitted by a logged in user. Includes access to all aspects of user data such as submission.author.id and submission.author.fullName, etc.

statusModel

The status of the submission. Includes access to all aspects of the status information:

• statusModel.name - the submission's status name.
• statusModel.handle - the submission's status handle.
• statusModel.color - the submission's status color.

formId

The ID of the form the submission belongs to.

form

The Freeform_FormModel.

ip

The IP address of the submitter, if collection of IP addresses is enabled.

token

The token generated for the submission. A common use case for tokens would be when you want to have a more secure URL for accessing and displaying submission data, or allowing users to delete their own submission and not requiring any login, etc.

Also required if you wish to allow editing of submissions on front end.

submission[field.handle]

A way to access all submitted field values, excluding HTML fields, submit fields, email-marketing fields. You can automate accessing all field data by using markup like this:

<ul>
	{% for field in submission %}
		<li>{{ field.label }}: {{ submission[field.handle] }}</li>
	{% endfor %}
</ul>

You can access any field in the submission's form by the field's handle. If you have a field with a handle firstName, you can access its value by calling submission.firstName or get its label submission.firstName.label. Any other property such as placeholder, options, defaultValue, etc is also available.

Some properties are field type specific. For example, you wouldn't be able to get rows from a Dropdown field, or options from a Textarea field.

Usage in Templates

Basic List

Below is a basic example of how to display a list of submissions for a given form:

{% set formHandle = 'yourFormHandle' %}
{% set submissions = freeform.submissions({
	form: formHandle,
}) %}

<h3>Submissions for {{ form.name }}</h3>

{% if submissions is empty %}
	<div>There are no submissions</div>
{% else %}
	<table class="table">
		<thead>
			<tr>
				<th>#</th>
				<th>Title</th>
				{% for field in (submissions|first) %}
					<th>{{ field.label }}</th>
				{% endfor %}
			</tr>
		</thead>
		<tbody>
		{% for submission in submissions %}
			<tr>
				<td>{{ submission.id }}</td>
				<td>
					<a href="{{ siteUrl }}freeform-demo/bootstrap/{{ form.handle }}/submissions/{{ submission.id }}">
						{{ submission.title }}
					</a>
				</td>
				{% for field in submission %}
					<td>
					{% if field.type == "file" %}
						{% set assetIds = submission[field.handle].value %}
						{% if assetIds %}
							{% for assetId in assetIds %}
								{% set asset = craft.assets.id(assetId).one() %}
								{% if asset %}
									{% if asset.kind == "image" %}
										<img src="{{ asset.url }}" class="img-responsive" />
									{% else %}
										<a href="{{ asset.url }}">{{ asset.filename }}</a>
									{% endif %}
								{% endif %}
							{% endfor %}
						{% endif %}
					{% else %}
						{{ submission[field.handle] }}
					{% endif %}
					</td>
				{% endfor %}
			</tr>
		{% endfor %}
		</tbody>
	</table>
{% endif %}

Basic Single

Below is a basic example of how to display a single view submission, assuming the submission ID is in the third segment:

{% set submission = freeform.submissions({
	form: 'yourFormHandle',
	id: craft.app.request.segment(3),
}).one() %}

<h3>
	{{ form.name }} - {{ submission.title }}
	({{ submission.statusModel.name }})
</h3>

<table class="table table-striped">
{% for field in submission %}
	<tr>
		<th style="width: 20%;">{{ field.label }}</th>
		<td>
		{% if field.type == "file" %}
			{% set assetId = submission[field.handle] %}
			{% set asset = craft.assets.id(assetId).one() %}
			{% if asset %}
				<img src="{{ asset.url }}" />
			{% endif %}
		{% elseif field.type == "dynamic_recipients" %}
			{{ field.value }}
		{% else %}
			{{ submission[field.handle] }}
		{% endif %}
		</td>
	</tr>
{% endfor %}
