Managing Forms

The Forms dashboard page offers extensive customization options. You can choose to display forms as cards or in a list table, customize the color of each form, set the display order of forms, create groups to organize forms, and archive forms that you don't want to appear on the dashboard.

​Form CardsImproved in 5.9+

Forms can be displayed as cards, and you can manage, reorder, and group them.

Each form card will display the form name, handle, and description, along with the statistics showing the number of submissions, the number of spam submissions, number of saved forms (if applicable) and a color-coded chart at the bottom of the card indicating submission counts over the past 30 days. Additionally, you will have the ability to reorder, archive, duplicate, or delete the form.

​Form ListNew in 5.6+

Forms can also be displayed as a table list, showing them in alphabetical order. The list view does not include the form groups feature.

Each row in the list will display the form name, handle, and description, along with the statistics showing the number of submissions, the number of spam submissions, and a color-coded chart indicating submission counts over the past 30 days. Additionally, you will have the ability to archive, duplicate, or delete the form.

​Form GroupsProNew in 5.6+

To organize your form cards into groups, click Manage Form Groups at the bottom of the cards view to open the Form Group Manager. You can create multiple groups and rearrange both groups and forms. Any forms that are not assigned to a group will appear at the bottom under an Other group.

​Archiving Forms
LitePro
New in 5.5+

If you want to reduce clutter or hide old or unused forms, you can archive them by clicking the Archive icon on any form. The form will still be active on the website and can be viewed and edited in the form builder, but it will be moved to the bottom of the Forms dashboard page. You can unarchive forms at any time.

​Errors & Update Notices

The top of the Forms dashboard page will conveniently let you know if something is wrong by displaying a banner indicating the number of errors that Freeform logged, if available, as well as Update Notices to keep you informed about issues that may specifically affect your site.

We respect your privacy, so this feature only pulls update notices from the Solspace.com site and does not and cannot send any information back. Solspace collects no information at all. The comparison check happens on your Freeform site environment, not on the Solspace site. This feature can also be disabled in the plugin settings.
