If you choose to collect responses in your email inbox, do one of the following:
• Select the option Collect Name & Email from Recipients To Provide Optimal Tracking. The system prompts
recipients to provide their name and email address when they submit the form. This guarantees that in Tracker,

• Deselect the option if you want to receive anonymous submissions, or you don't care about that level of tracking.
You can also have the responses sent to someone else. See Patti Sokol's
Note: If you don't know the email addresses of your recipients, enter your own email address. The system sends you a link

About form field properties
How a form field behaves is determined by settings in the Properties dialog box for that individual field. You can set
