Every Act-On Form needs somewhere to put the data it collects, and that's the job of a form submission list. When you build a new Form in the Forms Composer, you decide right then whether its submissions go into a brand-new list or an existing one.
Why this matters: Choosing the right list up front - and making sure your field mapping matches it - saves you from a save-time error and from ending up with scattered, hard-to-report-on submission data later.
Instructions
Create a New List for Your Form
To create a new Form submission list for your Act-On Form:
- Go to Content > Forms and at the top right, click Create Form.
- In the Forms Composer, go to the Properties tab.
- Under List, enter a List Name to create a new Form submission list.
- You'll find your new list in the Default Folder under Lists > Other Lists > Form Submissions once your Form begins collecting submissions.
Select an Existing List for Your Form
To add submitted Form data to an existing Form submission list:
- Go to the Properties tab in the Forms Composer.
- Under List, click Select Existing List to the right of the input field.
- Select an existing Form submission list from the pop-up menu.

Be careful! Your Form's column names in Field Mappings must match the column names of your selected list. If these fields don't match when saving your Form, you'll get an error prompting you to re-map columns to resolve this.
Combining Multiple Form Submission Lists
If you'd like to share data across multiple Form submission lists or want to merge submission data to your primary marketing list, you can use a List Maintenance Program to copy or merge data across lists.
