Entries

Entries are stored form submissions. They live inside each form, under the Entries tab.

By default, every submission is stored as an entry. You can turn this off per form under Settings -> Entries if you only want to run actions (like sending a notification) without keeping the data. Note: submissions with file uploads are always stored, so the files stay manageable.

The entries list

The list shows the entry ID, date, status and the first few fields of your form as columns. Unread entries are shown in bold, and are marked as read once you open them.

Above the list you can search entries and filter by status. Statuses you may see:

  • Complete — a regular successful submission
  • Failed — a required action failed, see Troubleshooting
  • Payment statuses like Paid, Awaiting payment and Payment failed — see Payments

Select multiple entries to mark them read/unread or delete them in bulk.

Viewing an entry

Clicking an entry opens it in a panel, where you'll find:

  • Submitted values — all field values. You can edit these (file fields excepted); edited values go through the same sanitization as a real submission.
  • Notes — internal notes, visible to admins only.
  • Actions — re-run buttons for actions that allow it, for example to resend a notification. An action only shows up here when you've enabled Allow re-run from an entry in its settings. See Actions.
  • Timeline — everything that happened to this entry: actions that ran, payment updates, edits.

Exporting

Click Export CSV above the list to download all entries of the form. The export contains the ID, date and every field as a column.

Deleting

You can delete a single entry from its panel or the row menu, or multiple at once with a bulk action. Deleting an entry also removes its uploaded files from the server. This cannot be undone.

Privacy

A few things Veldform does by default to keep entry data lean:

  • The visitor's IP address is never stored in readable form — only a salted hash, used for rate limiting.
  • The user agent is not stored at all.
  • Uploaded files are stored outside the public uploads folder and are only served to logged-in users with the right capability.

If you want all plugin data (forms, entries, uploads, connections and settings) removed when you uninstall the plugin, enable the option under Veldform -> Settings -> Uninstall.
