Terminology change

This article contains references to Dotdigital address books. In the Dotdigital platform, these have been renamed to Lists. To locate Lists in Dotdigital, go to Audience > Lists.

The Forms tab displays a list of existing Dotdigital forms that are available to view in Salesforce.

Form data and responses can be synchronised to Salesforce from Dotdigital, and synchronised data can be deleted.

Synchronise a form

To manually synchronise an individual form:

Go to the Forms tab.
Select the form name.
Select Synchronise.

Synchronise button is not visible

If you do not see the Synchronise button on the form page, you must edit the page to add this:

On the form page, select the Setup cog, then Edit Page.
Drag Form Buttons from the left side panel over to the right side of the form page.
Select Save.
If you see a pop-over which directs you to activate the page:
1. Select Activate.
2. Select the App Default tab.
3. Select Assign as App default.
4. Select the checkbox for Dotdigital.
5. Select Next, then Next again.
6. Select Save.

To manually synchronise all of your forms:

Go to Configuration.
Expand the Settings drop-down menu, then select Sync options.
Select the Sync Now checkbox for Forms, then select Synchronise Now.

You see a notification that the sync has been queued. You can now close the Sync options window.

Advanced

The Advanced option is used to delete response data for a form.

To do this:

Go to Forms.
Select a form name.
Select Advanced.
Select the Clear Form Responses checkbox and then select Clear Form Data.
The data may need to be removed from the Salesforce Recycle Bin before the Salesforce storage is reduced.

This action also disables any scheduled synchronisation for the selected form questions and form responses.

The data remains in Dotdigital, and it can be re-synchronised to Salesforce using the data options under Edit.

Edit a form

The Edit option for a form is used to choose what data is synchronised into Salesforce from Dotdigital.

To edit a form:

Go to Forms.
Expand the drop-down menu to the right of the form name and select Edit.
Select or clear the checkboxes for the two data types:
1. Synchronise Form - Synchronises the selected form, with its questions and options. This option needs to be selected before responses can be synchronised.
2. Synchronise Responses - This allows complete or partial responses to the form to be synchronised into Salesforce.The amount of data may be significant, so consider any storage limitations you may have.
Select Save.
