General Settings

General Settings control the core behavior and configuration of your form.

From here, you can manage important options such as the form name, submission settings, language preferences, publishing behavior, and other form-level controls.

These settings help ensure your form works exactly the way you want before sharing it with respondents.

Accessing General Settings

To access your form settings:

1. Open your form.
2. Navigate to Settings.
3. Select General Settings.

Any changes are saved to the form and applied when the form is published.

Form Name

The form name helps you identify and organize forms within your workspace.

A clear name makes it easier to:

• Find forms quickly
• Manage submissions
• Review analytics
• Collaborate with team members

Examples:

• Customer Feedback Survey
• Demo Request Form
• Job Application Form
• Event Registration Form

Form Language

QuipForm supports forms in multiple languages.

You can configure the language used throughout the form experience, including interface elements and built-in messaging.

This allows you to create localized experiences for respondents around the world.

Publish Status

Control whether your form is available to respondents.

A form can generally be:

• Published
• Unpublished

When unpublished, visitors cannot submit responses.

This is useful while making updates or testing changes.

Submission Settings

Submission settings control how respondents interact with your form.

Depending on your configuration, you may choose to:

• Accept submissions
• Temporarily stop accepting submissions
• Configure submission restrictions
• Customize post-submission behavior

Additional controls are available in dedicated settings sections.

Form URL

Every published form receives its own shareable URL.

You can use this URL to:

• Share forms directly
• Add forms to emails
• Post forms on social media
• Include forms on websites
• Generate QR codes

Workspace Ownership

Forms belong to the workspace in which they were created.

Workspace settings may affect:

• Team access
• Collaboration
• Billing
• Permissions

If you are working in a shared workspace, ensure the correct team members have access to the form.

Before Publishing

Before sharing your form, review:

• Form title
• Questions and content
• Logic rules
• Analytics settings
• Notification settings
• Thank You page
• Mobile responsiveness

Testing your form helps prevent issues after launch.

Best Practices

Use Clear Form Names

Descriptive names make forms easier to manage later.

Review Settings Before Launch

A quick review can prevent accidental publishing issues.

Test the Full Submission Flow

Complete a test submission before sharing the form publicly.

Keep Forms Organized

Use consistent naming conventions across your workspace.
