QuickMode: Form Options - More Options: Settings

The "Settings" tab carries forward some settings initially defined elsewhere and allows you to change them and/or define some additional parameters, such as the order you want the form to appear in, whether it will run in the frontend or on the backend (admin) side, and so on. For more information on each individual element, please read on.

Screenshot of QuickMode Form Settings

  • Title
    This field will automatically carry forward the title you defined when you created the form. If you change it here, then save the settings at the bottom of the page, and then save the form itself, your old title will be overwritten with the new one you just defined.
  • Name
    This field will automatically carry forward the form name you defined when you created the form. If you change it here, then save the settings at the bottom of the page, and then save the form itself, your old form name will be overwritten with the new one you just defined.
  • Ordering
    This dropdown allows you to change the order in which your form appears on the "Manage Forms" screen. If you'd like it to appear at the very top of the list, select 0 First. If you'd like it to appear somewhere else on the list, just choose the number that corresponds with the order that you want it in. (For example, to have it appear in the third position, choose number 3.)
  • Published
    Select "yes" if the form should be published; "no" if it should not be published yet.
  • Run Mode
    There are three select values for Run Mode, as follows:
    • Any - Form will run on either the frontend or backend (admin) side
    • Frontend - Form will run on the frontend
    • Backend - Form will run on the admin side
  • Width
    The width of your form can be defined in pixels or as a percentage. (By default, it is set at 400 pixels.) NOTE: This definition only works for forms that will be displayed within an iFrame. To set the width of a regular QuickMode form, please see this KnowledgeBase Article: Adjust Form Width.
  • Height
    The height of your form must be defined in pixels. Note: Auto and Automax require specification of a bottom 'margin' in pixels. The 'margin,' however, is actually defining the form's height in pixels, so make sure you leave it high enough to display your entire form.
  • Log to Database
    If you want to retain form entries from your site, BreezingForms gives you the ability to log entries to the database. In this field, you can choose from one of three options:
    • No - No entries will be logged
    • Nonempty values - Fields that include data will be recorded
    • All values - All form fields will be logged to the database
  • Email Notification
    This field allows you to choose whether or not you want to receive copies of submitted forms via Email. There are three options available:
    • No - Email will not be sent
    • To Default Address - Forms will be sent to the Email address you defined as the default in the Configuration section of BreezingForms. If you select this option, you will have two other fields to complete:
      • Report - Choose to Email the header only, nonempty values, or all values.
      • FORMS_ATTACHMENT - You can choose whether or not to send the form data as an attachment to the Email. If yes, you may choose from one of the following formats: XML, CSV, or PDF.
    • To Custom Address - If you specified a different Email address to send the forms to on the Form Properties page, it will automatically carry forward to this field. If you hadn't previously specified a custom Email address (or addresses) to send the form to, you may do so here. For multiple Email addresses, you must use a semicolon (;) to separate them. If you select this option, you will have two other fields to complete:
      • Report - Choose to Email the header only, nonempty values, or all values.
      • FORMS_ATTACHMENT - You can choose whether or not to send the form data as an attachment to the Email. If yes, you may choose from one of the following formats: XML, CSV, or PDF.
  • Custom Mail Subject
    If you would like to include a custom subject in the Email confirmation you are sent, you may do so here.
  • Description
    The description field will carry forward the form description that you specified on the Form Properties page. If you'd like to change or enhance it, you can do so here. You will see three numbers in square brackets beside the Description title. Each one reflects the number of lines to be displayed in the text area. If you click on [4], a four-line text area will be displayed. Likewise, if you click on [12] or [20], a 12- or 20-line text area will be displayed.
  • Save Settings
    Once you have finished making changes on this screen, you must click on the "SAVE" icon at the bottom of the screen.
