Global Defaults in SureForms 

The Global Defaults tab in SureForms helps you define default settings that are automatically applied whenever you create a new form.

Instead of configuring the same settings again and again, you can set them once here and reuse them across all new forms.

Overview

The Global Defaults section is divided into four main areas. Each one controls a different part of your form’s behavior.

• Email Notification
• Form Confirmation
• Form Restrictions
• Compliance Settings

Email Notification

This section allows you to set default email settings for form submissions. These emails are typically sent to the admin or site owner when a form is submitted.

Available Options

• Send Email To
• Subject
• Confirmation Message
• From Name
• From Email
• CC
• BCC
• Reply To

These settings are automatically applied to new forms, but you can still customize them later for each form if needed.

Form Confirmation

This section controls what users see or experience after they submit a form.

Available Options

• Confirmation Type
  • Success Message
  • Redirect
• Confirmation Message
• After Form Submission
  • Hide Form
  • Reset Form
• Redirect To
  • Page
  • Custom URL
• Select Page to redirect
• Query Parameters

This helps you guide users after submission, such as showing a thank-you message or sending them to another page.

Form Restrictions

This section allows you to control how and when a form can be submitted.

Free Features

• Maximum Number of Entries – Limit how many submissions a form can accept

Pro Features (if enabled)

• IP-based Restriction – Allow or block specific IP addresses
• Country-based Restriction – Restrict submissions by country
• Keyword Based Restriction – Block submissions containing specific words

Each restriction can be turned on or off based on your needs.

Compliance Settings

This section helps you manage user data responsibly and stay compliant with privacy regulations.

Available Options

• Enable GDPR Compliance
• Never store entry data after form submission
• Automatically delete entries

These settings are useful if you handle sensitive user data or need to follow privacy laws.

How It Works

When you create a new form:

1. SureForms reads the settings from Global Defaults
2. These settings are copied into the new form
3. The form becomes independent and can be edited separately

This means:

• You can customize each form individually
• Changes in Global Defaults will not update existing forms

Pro Extension (Form Restrictions)

The Form Restrictions section can be extended in the Pro version with advanced controls.

Additional Features

• IP allow/block lists
• Country-based restrictions
• Keyword filtering

Each feature includes:

• Enable/disable toggle
• Custom message for users
• Flexible rule configuration
