How to provide respondents with a Submission Summary

The Submission Summary feature is an excellent way to provide form respondents with a record of their submissions. This feature allows respondents to download a PDF summary of their completed form immediately after submission. The PDF mirrors the layout of the form, displaying responses within the fields and highlighting selected options in choice fields.

This feature can be used in a variety of cases, such as job application forms for example. When someone applies for a position through an online form, they can download a PDF summarizing their submission. This document can serve as a handy reference for reviewing their answers to essay questions, confirming their chosen job preferences, or preparing for follow-up interviews.

How to set it up

The Submission Summary feature is available on the Thank You page. Therefore, start by selecting Thank You from the left-side panel of the form builder.

After your respondents submit the form, they will see a link-like option on the Thank You page which they can click to trigger the PDF download. It’s worth mentioning that the submission summary link will expire 10 minutes after reaching the Thank You page.

The color of the Submission Summary link is the same as the Submit button color. If you wish to change it, go to Design → Quick Setup → Button color.
