Settings

Open the form designer and click Settings in the top-right to configure post-submit behaviour, notifications, and branding.

Workspace

The workspace the form (and its backing database) belongs to. Move the form to a different workspace from here. The backing database moves with it.

Submit Button Text

The label on the submit button. Defaults to Submit. Examples:

• "Send my answers"
• "Apply now"
• "Get my quote"
• "Reserve my spot"

Thank You Message

Shown on the form page after a successful submission. Plain text — no HTML or markdown formatting. If left blank, the default is "Thank you for your submission!".

If a Redirect URL is set, the redirect happens instead of showing this message.

Redirect URL

Forward respondents to a different URL after submission instead of showing the thank-you message. Useful for:

• Sending people to a calendar booking link
• Triggering a pixel-tracked thank-you page on your marketing site
• Redirecting to a payment provider for paid forms

Must be a fully-qualified URL (https://example.com/thanks). The redirect runs client-side after the submission API returns success.

Notification Emails

Comma-separated list of emails that get a "New submission received" notice every time the form is submitted.

alice@acme.com, bob@acme.com, sales@acme.com

The email includes:

• Form title
• Submission timestamp
• A link back to the responses (the backing database)

Don't notify a wide list

For high-volume forms, point notifications at a single shared inbox or a Slack-bridged email — flooding ten teammates with one email per submission gets noisy fast. Use Activity filters instead for at-a-glance triage.

Closed Message

The message shown on the public form when its status is Closed. Defaults to "This form is no longer accepting responses."

Closing keeps the form's title and icon visible — only the field UI disappears. Use this for:

• Event registrations after the deadline
• Job applications after the role is filled
• Annual surveys outside the active window

Allow Multiple Submissions

| Off (default) | One submission per browser session. The form shows a "You've already submitted" state on revisit. | | On | Same browser can submit as many times as it wants. |

This is a soft client-side check (uses localStorage). Anyone determined can clear storage or use a different browser to submit again. For hard one-per-person enforcement, use a logged-in flow (not yet supported on public forms).

Show Progress Bar

When the form has page breaks, this toggles a thin progress bar at the top showing how far through the multi-page flow the respondent is. Useful for forms with 3+ pages — distracting on short forms.

Show Ascend Branding

A small "Made with Ascend" footer link on the public form. Toggle off for a clean, white-labelled look.

Form URL

Read-only display of the public URL. Click the copy button to grab https://your-app.example/f/{slug}.

The slug is permanent. If you need a vanity URL, set up a redirect from your own domain.
