The list type you choose does not affect functionality in any way and is merely a method for you to organize your records and workflow. You can collect data from several Forms in a single list. This makes it easy to use the list to respond to specific Form submissions.
Instructions
Add Form Submissions to an Existing List
- Go to Content > Forms.
- At the top right, click Create Form.
- In the Properties tab of the Forms Composer, in the List area, select the four-lined icon on the far right to see a pop-up menu of your current account lists:
- Select an existing Form submission list or marketing list to store your Form submissions.
- After selecting a list, verify that your field mapping is aligned with the selected list – this will prevent duplicate list columns when sending new Form submissions to your list.
The Always Append Feature
When you create a new Form submission list, you'll notice a checkbox called Always Append. By default, this feature is disabled. By keeping it disabled, the Act-On Form will not allow duplicate submissions based on the user's email address. Act-On will simply update the previous Form submission with the new Form submission.
For example, if john@abc.com submitted the Form twice, the Form submission list will overwrite the first submission with the information from the second submission.
If you enable Always Append, the Act-On Form will allow duplicate submissions based on email addresses. For example, if john@abc.com submitted the Form twice, the Form submission list will contain two entries for john@abc.com and treat them as unique submissions.
