Submission storage
Configure, verify, and operate Submission storage in the official Drecha plugin manual.
What this feature does
Drecha Forms stores a validated entry before notification jobs run. Administrators can search, filter, mark, annotate, export, retain, erase, and securely access associated private files in the Free edition.
Key capabilities
- Persistence before email — An SMTP or mailbox problem does not erase the submitted entry.
- Bounded administration — Pagination and streaming CSV avoid loading an entire entry table into memory.
- Privacy lifecycle — Per-form retention and WordPress privacy exporters and erasers help administrators operate a documented data lifecycle.
Configure Submission storage
-
Publish and test the form. Submit a realistic response and verify it appears before relying on notifications.
-
Choose retention. Set a period that matches the purpose and legal basis for collecting the data.
-
Review and annotate. Use read state, search, filters, columns, and private notes to process entries.
-
Export or erase safely. Use formula-safe CSV and WordPress personal-data tools instead of copying raw database rows.
Verify the result
Open the relevant public page in a private browser window and complete the workflow once. Confirm the saved result in WordPress, test keyboard navigation, and repeat the critical path at a mobile width before sharing it with customers.
