In this tutorial we demonstrate working with data in the DataSprings Dynamic Forms module. We show you how to view the data that the Dynamic Forms module captures, how to setup a message to display when a user clicks on the submit button and how to import and export forms that you have created into other Dynamic Forms Modules.
The Import / Export feature is very useful as it allows you to reuse forms you have previously created for other projects. When you want to reuse a form, you simply export it from the Dynamic Forms module and then import it into a new Dynamic Forms Module for your new project.
It is also useful for viewing some of the additional form examples that DataSprings provide, you can simply import one of their demo forms, view how they have set it up and adjust it to suit your own project.
