Hi, James,

We are glad to hear you’ve successfully built your database.
It would be great if other dabble db users can do the same.
By the way, it would be great if you do not delete your topics, because it would be very helpful for other users.

Regarding a new form: you can just create a new project or add ‘New form’ in the Form Builder and it will be separated from your existing projects.

When you add every new form it will automatically create a database back-end for it. So, you can create any kind of forms: contact forms, registration form, online order form.

If you are only interested in creating a database you can create your form for filling the database.

For example, if you want to create a People’s database you will add form ‘People’ with ‘Name’, ‘Age’ etc. fields (columns).

Then you can start adding people and you will see a data table on the Records menu or in the Database Widget where you can share it at the web.

Hope you will find it useful!

P.S. Please, make sure to invite other Dabble DB users if only possible and if you think they can find MTH good for them also! ;)

James,

When your users fill your form you will automatically receive emails about it with all the data entered into your form.
You will also receive a link to this added entry.

Just go to the ‘Widget Builder’ → “Form Widget” and fill the form there – you should receive an email shortly.

Also, as I understood you separated forms from the existent database.
But will these new forms collect data for your current projects?
I’m not sure why you did it. If the data entered in forms is the same as in the database you can use the same project for this.

We also have a Moderation feature, – when users add new entries through their forms they will not be shown on your database widget until your moderation is completed.

If you need some other columns’ heading – I’m with you, you only need to add a new project for this. Also, if you need to hide some columns in the database widget you can do it also in the database widget settings.

Please, let me know if you have any other questions.

Looks like questions and answers are getting jumbled up a little.

I have 5 separate databases, all are Rosters of WW2 and Korean War Veterans, classed by Army Divisions – 28th, 30th, 31st, 83rd, and 106th. Each is found on a separate website at www.IndianaMilitary.org That site has a link to each, plus much other historical info.

I wanted the form to be emailed to me and not to be added to any of the above listed databases. That is left up to me after I get the email. The one form will capture info for all the divisions, with one line asking for the division name.

I think I may understand – when a person fills out the form and submits, I will get an email telling me to go and look at that form (which is a small database) and the new data should be here and I can copy or delete as I choose.

I wish I was smarter.

We saw your kind words on dabble db, thank you very much!
And enjoy MTH!
