What is the form metadata?

In Paperly, form metadata is the setup information that defines how a form works in the background. 

Metadata of a Form includes:

• Form Name: The title used to identify the form.

• Description: A short explanation of the form’s purpose.

• Is this for an Excursion: Specifies if the form should be available within the Excursions module.

• Public Link: Defines whether the form is publicly accessible.

• User Group: Defines who can access the form (e.g., Current Staff, Current Students, Current Parents). More info on User Groups can be found here.

• Form Open: The date/time when the form starts accepting submissions.

• Form Closes: The date/time when the form stops accepting submissions.

• Allow submissions after form closure: Allows submissions after the Form Closes date/time.

• Accounts Code: Required only if the form has payment fields; used for finance tracking.

• Auto-publish after creation: Automatically publishes the form when the creator saves it.

• Send email notification upon form publication: If enabled, when the form is published and the Form Open date/time is reached, email notifications are sent to users in the User Group.
