Managing Form Submissions
The Form Submissions page is your central hub for managing all form assignments and submissions.

Individual Forms:

Bulk Sending:
- Select multiple forms using checkboxes
- Click “Send/Remind” bulk action
- Confirm the action
- All selected forms will be sent. If they have already been sent a reminder will be sent
Sending Reminders
For forms with “Sent” status:

- Or use bulk actions for multiple reminders
- Parents receive a reminder email with the same secure link
How Automatic Reminders Work

Updates to a completed form do not update the completed PDF for download.
Filtering and Searching
Use the filtering options to find specific forms:
Available Filters:
- Status: Created, Sent, Completed, Awaiting Signoff
- Type: Child or Staff Forms
- Form: Filter by specific form names
- Overdue: Show only overdue submissions
Search: Use the search box to find forms by child name, staff name, email address, or form name.
Submissions from public forms and anonymous email assignments appear in the submissions list alongside regular child and staff form submissions.
- Name display: The submitter’s name is shown in the Name column (from the name they entered when submitting)
- Email display: The submitter’s email address is shown in smaller text underneath their name
- Unassigned indicator: A wrench icon indicates the form is not yet linked to a child or staff member
- Assigning to a record: You can link a completed anonymous submission to an existing child or staff member via the More Actions (…) menu — see Assigning Completed Anonymous Forms
Sometimes parents/staff may complete forms offline (printed copies) or you may need to manually enter form data. The system supports manual form handling.
- Go to Settings -> Forms
- Find your form in the list
- Click the More Actions (…) menu -> “Download”
- This downloads a blank PDF version of the form
- Print and distribute to parents as needed
