# Form Submissions

How UiChemy captures and stores form submissions from the Composer widget.


Every form submission captured by a Composer-managed form is stored in your WordPress database and appears at **UiChemy → Form Submissions**. You can read, filter, and export submissions from this screen without a separate CRM or third-party service.

### What Are Form Submissions

When you use the Composer widget to build a section that includes a form, a contact form, a lead capture form, a newsletter signup, UiChemy captures and stores every submission directly in your WordPress database. You access all submissions from **UiChemy → Form Submissions**.

<div style="border: 4px solid transparent; border-radius: 16px; background: linear-gradient(135deg, #FD6A35, #FEA686) border-box; overflow: hidden; margin: 1.5rem auto; max-width: 680px;">
  <div style={{margin: '-24px 0', lineHeight: 0}}>

  </div>

<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 0.875rem; color: var(--text-color-secondary, #6b7280); margin-top: 0.5rem;"><em>Form Submissions: list, filters, and a submission's detail panel</em></p>

### What Gets Captured

For each submission, UiChemy stores:

| Field | What it stores |
|---|---|
| ID | A unique identifier for the submission |
| Form Name | Which form on your site was submitted |
| Page | The page the form appeared on, shown as a link to it (for example "Elementor #323") |
| Fields | Every field the form actually has, whatever you built it with, not a fixed set. A contact form might submit an email, a signup form fname and lname, and so on |
| IP Address | The submitter's IP address |
| Status | Whether the submission has been read or is still unread |
| Submitted At | The exact date and time of the submission |

<Callout kind="tip">
Below the field values, each submission also shows the exact URL it was submitted from, so you can trace it back to the live page.
</Callout>

### Read and Unread Status

Every submission comes in as **Unread** until you open it. Once you view a submission, it's automatically marked as **Read**. Click **Mark unread** on an open submission to flip it back. Click the trash icon to delete a submission, then confirm with **Delete permanently**.

The top right of the page has three read-status filters:

- **All**, every submission regardless of status.
- **Unread**, submissions you haven't opened yet.
- **Read**, submissions you've already viewed.

Below the page title, **All Forms** sits alongside a button for each form name, so you can filter the list down to submissions from just one form. See [Viewing and Exporting Submissions](/uichemy-plugin/forms/viewing-exporting) for the full dashboard and export options.

### Enabling Submission Storage

Form submission storage is controlled by the **Store form submissions** toggle in **UiChemy → Settings**. Make sure it's turned on, otherwise submissions won't be saved to the database and won't appear here.

### Use Cases

- Tracking leads and inquiries from a Composer form without a separate CRM or form-plugin dashboard.
- Triaging which submissions still need a reply, using the Unread/Read tabs as a lightweight inbox.
- Confirming a form is wired up correctly during testing, submit it, then check it landed here.

### If It Doesn't Work

<ExpandableGroup>
  <Expandable title="A form submission didn't show up here" default-open="false">
    Check that **Store form submissions** is on in **UiChemy → Settings**, and that the form's **Save to database** action is enabled. Also confirm you tested from the published page, submissions made from Elementor's editor preview aren't captured.
  </Expandable>
