Form Settings

Clicking on the form name in the form preview on the right side of the page, or clicking the “Form Properties” tab located in the top left, will bring you to the Form Properties control panel. From here, you can control the properties of the selected form. A selected form will be highlighted in yellow, and will have a combination of the properties listed below:

Form Settings Tab
  • Form Name. The first piece of text displayed to the user when they see your form. The form name is also used to create the URL that indicates where the form is located on the web.

  • Description. Use this property to display a short description or any instructions, notes, or guidelines that your user should read when filling out the form. This will appear directly below the form name.

  • Label Placement. How do you want the questions to appear? They can float to the left or hover above the form questions.

  • Entry Limit. Allows you to have a form become inactive after a certain amount of entries. For example, great for signup forms that may have 100 tickets to an event, and don’t want people in excess of 100 to fill out and pay on the form. Using that example, the Entry Limit would be set to 100.

  • Send Confirmation Email To User. If you would like a receipt message sent to the person who fills out the form, select this option. You can customize the message, and specify if a copy of the submission should be included.

  • Password Protect. If you would like to limit access to the public version of your form, check this property and type in the password you want to use to protect it. All users accessing the public form will then be required to type in the password to access the form. A paid Wufoo subscription is required to use this feature.

  • Show Text Confirmation. After your users have successfully submitted an entry, they will be sent to Wufoo’s Confirmation Page, which will display the text you have specified here.

  • Redirect URL. After your users have successfully submitted an entry, you can redirect them to another website. This will bypass the default Wufoo Confirmation Page, and send them directly to a URL of your choice. A paid Wufoo subscription is required to use this feature.
