Where form responses go once they're captured, how to read them in the workspace, how to export them to CSV, and how attached files appear as download links.
Every submission to a published form is stored by default — a live form never silently loses data. Responses are saved against the project they belong to, newest first, and you view them in the Responses dialog inside the workspace.
Where responses go
When a visitor submits, FlowRunner writes one record per submission with:
- the field values the visitor entered (keyed by each field's name),
- the form name the response came from,
- a timestamp (
createdOn), - and a little metadata (the browser's user-agent).
Records are scoped to the project, so a workspace with several forms keeps each project's responses separate.
Viewing responses
Open the Responses dialog for a project to see its submissions in a table:
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| When | The submission time, in your local timezone. |
| Form | Which form the response came from (its name). |
| Field columns | The first few field names from your submissions, one column each. |
The table shows the most recent responses (up to 500) with the newest at the top, and displays the first handful of fields as columns so the table stays readable. For the complete data — every field, every row — use the CSV export.

NOTE
Viewing responses requires being a member of the project's workspace (viewer role or above). Responses are never public — only your team can read them.
Export to CSV
Click Download CSV to get a spreadsheet of every response. The file is named after your project, e.g. my-project-responses.csv, and opens cleanly in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
The CSV is built so no data is lost even when forms differ:
- The header is
Submitted,Form, then every field name seen across all responses — so a column exists for each field, even if only some submissions filled it in. - Empty cells are left blank; values containing commas, quotes or line breaks are safely quoted.
- A field whose value is structured (for example a list) is written as JSON text rather than being dropped.

When a response includes a File upload, the saved value is a link to the stored file rather than the file itself. In the Responses table that value is rendered as a File download link with a paperclip icon; clicking it fetches the file.
WARNING
File links are member-gated. Downloading an attached file requires you to be signed in and a member of that project — the link won't work for the public, and it won't work if you're signed out. This is deliberate: uploaded files can contain personal data. See File uploads for how the gating works.
