Save and display data

Save and display data

Saving data and automatically publishing data are both explicit opt-in options. In this case, opt-in prevents unwanted, unconscious processing of personal data and is part of Visforms’ data protection.

Opt-in therefore prevents unwanted, unconscious actions on the website that may not comply with the website’s GDPR declaration of conformity:

  • Storage of personal data.
  • Publication of personal data.

Save data

To ensure that Visforms saves the data of the submitted form long-term, set the following parameter:
Form configuration » Result tab, Save result parameter = Yes.

Save data

Publish data

Note: To ensure that Visforms can also display the long-term saved data in the frontend, the data must first be actively published.

To ensure that Visforms can also display the long-term saved data in the frontend, the following three options are available:

  • Publish data automatically.
  • Publish a single data record.
  • Publish multiple data records.

Publish data automatically

Visforms can automatically publish the long-term saved data of a submitted form.
To automatically publish the submitted form data, set the following parameter:
Form configuration » Data display in the frontend tab, parameter Automatically publish data = Yes.

Automatically publish data

Publish a single data record

You can manually publish a single data record in the Visforms backend in the form data view.
To do this, click on the gray icon with the small x in the Published column.

Publish a single data record

Publish multiple data records

You can publish multiple data records at once in the Visforms backend in the form data view:

  • To do this, click on the gray empty box in the second column with an empty box as a heading to select the desired data records.
  • In the Actions button at the top of the page, select the Publish action option.
