Submissions

View, search, filter, and export the data your forms collect.

Every entry posted to a form is stored as a submission. Open a form and select the Submissions tab to work with your data.

Viewing submissions

The Submissions tab lists entries newest-first, showing each submission's values and the time it was received. Click a submission to open its detail view, where you can see every field value and download any uploaded files.

The Submissions tab for a form in Formiary, with counts for total, unread, spam, and archived submissions above the list of entries

Counts across the top summarize the form's total, unread, spam, and archived submissions. In the list, an entry is marked with a dot while it is unread, a flag if it is spam, and an archive icon once archived. The menu at the end of each row marks a submission as read or unread, flags it as spam, archives it, or deletes it.

Filtering

Filter the list by status (all submissions, unread only, spam only, or archived only) and by a date range.

Exporting

Select Export above the list to download the form's submissions as a file. Choose CSV for reporting or spreadsheets, or JSON to move data into another tool.

The export submissions dialog in Formiary, with a format selector and a choice between a date range and the form's entire history

Export either a date range (start and end dates are inclusive) or everything, which covers the form's entire history.

Spam

Submissions can be flagged as spam, either automatically by your spam rules or by hand. Flagging keeps the main list clean without deleting anything, so you can still find a real submission that was caught by mistake.

Files

If a submission includes file uploads, the files are downloadable from the submission's detail view. File retention is subject to your plan's storage limits.

Retention

Submissions are kept until you delete them. Nothing is removed for being old, on any plan, so your history and your analytics go back as far as your account does. Deleting a submission is permanent.

Volume is the one thing that can remove a submission, and only on the Free plan, whose 1,000 a month is a real cap. There's a short grace above it where entries are still stored, but past that they're kept only briefly and then purged, so treat 1,000 as the ceiling rather than something to run past. Paid plans never purge. Submissions over the included volume are billed as overage and kept like any other.

After Submission

Redirect visitors to your own page, or customize the wording and colors of the pages Formiary shows.

Spam Protection

Flag or reject junk submissions with honeypots, link detection, and rate limits.
