# Form submissions

> Read every message your forms collect, download them as a spreadsheet file, or copy them into a Google Sheet as they arrive.

Read every message your forms collect, open any one in full, and download up to the 10,000 newest of each form as a spreadsheet file. Each time a visitor sends a form, Fetchski Attract keeps a copy in the **Form Submissions** window.

 **Who can do this:** Admins and Owners. Ask an Admin if you need to see your forms' submissions.

## Open your submissions

* Open the command palette (⌘K, or Ctrl+K on Windows) and choose **View Form Submissions**. The shortcut is F then S.
* Or open a form in the **Forms** manager and choose **View submissions** at the top of its editor. The window opens on that form.

The Form Submissions window, newest first.

## Choose a form

Use the **Form** menu at the top to switch between your forms. Each form shows how many submissions it has. Choose **Refresh** to load any that came in while the window was open.

If you have no forms yet, the window says **No forms yet**. A form that nobody has sent yet says **No submissions yet**.

## The table

* **Submitted**: the date and time each submission arrived. The newest is at the top.
* **The other columns**: up to 5 of the form's fields, each headed by the field's label. Answers to a dropdown, radio or checkboxes field show the choice as visitors saw it. When a form has more fields, a note under the table says how many are hidden.
* **‹ Previous** and **Next ›**: move between pages of submissions.

## A submission in full

Choose **View →** at the end of a row. A panel slides in with every field the visitor filled in.

A conversion is a visitor doing something your business wants, such as sending this form. When you track a form as a conversion, the panel also lists its **Conversion Events**: the record of each time that happened. Choose **View event →** to see where that visitor came from. See [Conversion tracking](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/connections/conversion-tracking.md).

![The detail panel open on one Contact Us submission (name, email, phone, a short message about daycare for a puppy, and the consent answer), with the table dimmed behind it.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/VHp0B0s1nBbMi7JQ/images/cms/guides/forms/form-submissions/guides-forms-form-submissions-detail-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=VHp0B0s1nBbMi7JQ\&q=85\&s=b8f330b29fb2578fa644906bcb096045)

Open a submission to see every field.

## Download as a spreadsheet file

Choose **Export CSV** to download the chosen form's submissions. The file opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, and is named after the form and today's date.

It has a **Submitted** column with the date and time, then a column for every field visitors sent, not just the 5 in the table. When a submission recorded a visitor, there's also a **Visitor ID** column. It's an anonymous code for the visitor's browser, not their name, so you can match their submission to their visit.

An export holds up to the 10,000 most recent submissions. When a form has more, you see a warning such as "Exported the most recent 10000 of 12500 submissions." The older ones are still kept. To get a copy of them, contact Fetchski Support.

## Copy submissions into a Google Sheet

Have each new submission added as a row in a Google Sheet, as it arrives.

**1. An Admin connects Google Sheets once for the whole site**

See [Google Sheets](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/connections/google-sheets.md).

**2. Open the form in the Forms manager and go to its After submission tab**

**3. Turn on Submit to Google Spreadsheets**

**4. In Google Spreadsheet ID, paste the long code from the sheet's web address, between `/d/` and `/edit`**

**5. In Google Spreadsheet Sheet Name, type the name of the tab at the bottom of the sheet, such as Sheet1**

Use the tab's name, not the file's. If you leave it empty, the CMS uses a tab named **Sheet1**.

**6. Publish the form**

The first submission adds a header row, with one column per field.

If the sheet can't be reached, the submission is still kept in **Form Submissions**, but that row never reaches the sheet. It isn't sent again, and no alert tells you. Now and then, compare the sheet with this window. To fill a gap, choose **Export CSV** and copy the missing rows into the sheet.

Send a form's submissions to a Google Sheet.

## Good to know

* **Every submission is kept.** Attract stores each one, even when its email or Google Sheet fails to send.
* **This window is read-only.** You can read and export submissions here, but not change or delete them. To have a submission deleted, such as when someone asks you to remove their details, contact Fetchski Support.
* **One form, many places.** Put the same form on several pages and all its submissions collect here together. Make a second form when you want them kept apart.
* **Submissions hold personal details.** Keep exported files somewhere safe, and delete them when you no longer need them.
* **Other roles.** Admins can give other roles **See form submissions** and **Export form submissions** in **People & Roles**. See [People and roles](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/people/people-and-roles.md).
