• Is this a public form:* You can choose if you want the form to be public or private. Public forms can be submitted by anyone who registers on your website. Private forms are not available to your visitors unless you email them a link to the form. The form will not appear in the list of forms on the My Rescue web page.
• Allow multiple submissions by one user:* Should a single visitor be able to submit this form more than once?  Keep in mind that a visitor can still register multiple usernames and still submit the form multiple times.
• Allow unregistered users to submit this form:* Should your visitors be required to register and log in before they can submit this form, or should an unregistered user be able to submit the form?  If you select Yes, all of your form questions will be presented on one page for the user to complete.
• Display all questions on one page: You can choose if you want your entire form to be displayed on one web page or split up by pages? (Even if set to 'No', a visitor must be logged in to view the form on separate pages)
• Submission fee: If you have added items to your Online Store, you can select one of them to be a Form Fee (application fee) for this form. The user will be directed to the selected Online Store item when they submit the form. You should also add a sentence in the Form Comment so that the visitor knows they must pay an application fee.
• Form submission comment: The Form Submission Comment is the text that is emailed to the user when they submit the formForm Submission Comment: Enter comments about this form that you might want the visitor to your website to read. For instance, if you charge a fee for processing a form, this is a good place to let the visitor know.
• Default Assignee: You can choose which of your volunteers to assign Submitted Forms to by default for the form. Only contacts that are in the Volunteer group are available in this list for you to select.
• Alert Email Addresses: You can specify email addresses to which Submitted Forms alerts should be sent.  Multiple addresses can be entered, separated by a comma.  (Any volunteer whose options are set to receive alerts for Submitted Forms will still receive them.) 
• Reply to Email Address:  You can set an email address that submission emails are sent from and to which a reply is sent. 
• Contact Fields: Select which built-in contact fields to display and require on your forms.
• Status:* Select the status of the form -- if it should be enabled and accessible to visitors (this is different from public and private), or if it should be disabled. Take your time and ensure your application is the way you want it, then select to enable the form. If you want to make changes to the form, you can temporarily disable it if you like. You can also enable and disable forms from the list of online forms (Features > Online Forms). You can disable or enable multiple forms at once from that list. See the screenshot below under Deleting an online form.
