General Settings
General settings are organized into four panels: Base Settings, Multiple FileUpload Settings, History Records and Cleanup Settings.
Base Settings
Lists per page
How many records are displayed per page in the Submission Records interface. Default: 10.
Redirect results page
A DNN URL control selecting where users go after a successful submission, with four link types:
- None: no redirect (default) — the result page template is displayed.
- URL: an external URL.
- Page: a page on your site.
- File: a file on your site (e.g. a document download).
Customize Return Url
The same four link types (None / URL / Page / File) for a custom return address; takes precedence over Redirect results page.
Anchor link
The anchor position used when redirecting to the result page — no # prefix is needed.
Date Pattern
The date format for date fields in records and emails. Default mm/dd/yyyy; customize as needed, e.g. yyyy-mm-dd.
Hide IP address
When enabled, the full IP address of submitters is not stored — only the first two segments remain (displayed like 192.168.***.***), preserving statistics while satisfying privacy compliance (e.g. GDPR). Enabled by default.
Form Version
A form version identifier (numbers only). When set, each user may fill out the form only once per version — change the version number to reopen submissions. Ideal for one-per-person surveys and polls.
Form Storage
When enabled, the module temporarily saves the form content while the user fills it in, so data survives accidental page closes or refreshes — reducing drop-off on long forms. Enabled by default.
SSL Enforced
When enabled, the form is submitted over a forced HTTPS secure connection, protecting data from interception or tampering in transit.
Login User Display
When enabled, the form is visible only to logged-in users; others see the message configured in Prompt Not Logged.
Login User Download Attachment
When enabled, only logged-in users may download attachments on the result page.
Prompt Not Logged
The content shown to users who are not logged in, edited with the rich text editor (TinyMCE) with formatting and links. Default: You need to log in to submit forms.
Prompt Already Submitted
The content shown when the user submits the form again — also a rich text editor. Default: You have already submitted the form.
Language used for validation
The language of the validation prompts (ValidationEngine). Defaults to Default; 30+ languages are available including zh-cn, zh-tw, en, ja, fr, de, ru and ar.
Upload Extensions
Customize the file types allowed for form attachments:
- Separate multiple extensions with commas, e.g.
jpg,png,pdf,docx. - Leave empty to use the default list of 20 common formats:
jpg,jpeg,png,gif,bmp,mp3,wav,ogg,pdf,doc,docx,xls,xlsx,ppt,pptx,txt,csv,zip,rar,7z. - Web markup types such as
svg,htmlandxmlare always rejected and cannot be enabled. - The front-end file picker and server-side validation stay in sync; rejected uploads return a specific reason (file name plus the allowed format list).
Multiple FileUpload Settings
Max file size
The size limit for a single uploaded file, in KB — default 10240 (10 MB). Larger files are rejected.
Clear temporary files
Clears useless files left in the temporary folder of the multiple file upload control with one click.
History Records
Store History Records
Whether to store submission history. When disabled, submissions still send emails but are not saved to the records list. Enabled by default.
Extra Tracking
When enabled, more tracking info is captured on submission, including Form Page URL, OriginalReferrer, Landing Page and User Agent / Browser, shown in records and notification emails.
Export Extra Tracking
Whether exports include the tracking info columns.
Export Extension
The default export format for submission records (single choice):
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Excel | Excel spreadsheet (default) |
| CSV | Comma-separated text |
| Doc | Word document |
| Html | HTML table |
| Xml | XML data |
| TextFile | Plain text |
Cleanup Settings
Schedule Enable
When enabled, a scheduled task cleans up history records automatically, together with:
- Days Before: delete records older than this many days — default 30, minimum 7.
- Max Feedback: the maximum number of records to keep — default 1000, maximum 10000.
Cleanup Attachments
When enabled, the scheduled cleanup also removes the attachment files of the deleted records, keeping disk usage under control.
