There are two ways to control the email form alerts sent whenever data is entered in the form. The first is Mailing list and the second is account email change:
The mailing list option allows informing other emails recipients of new data entries but leaves all control of the account in your hands. Email change option moves all the account forms under a new email address. The proprietor of the new email address will become the new account owner.
Once you set up an account in FormLogix (registration is free) all data entered in the account forms will automatically be sent to the account owner.
Since sometimes users wish to have other people informed when data is entered in their email form - a "mailing list" option (in the “form settings”) was created. This option sends a copy of the entered data to a valid email address in addition to the data sent automatically to the form owner.
Even though a copy of the data is sent to others the control over the account email forms design and data management is still in the exclusive hands of the account owner only.
If one combines this option with the “Disable Emails” feature (under form settings as well) the account owner can choose to stop all emails sent to himself altogether and have only the copy sent to mailing list recipients defined in the “mailing list”. This option is only a conscious choice not to get emails – the control over the account is still in the account owner’s hands.
The email sent to "mailing list" recepients may be customized by using the "custome user email" option.
The “Email change” (in the user preferences) is the option used when you wish to have the forms sent by default to a new email address altogether, by transferring the entire account under this new email address and making the new owner of this account the only one who can access the forms, design them and edit the data. Since this option moves the entire account to a different email it does not suite those who wish to send one form’s data to a different recipient, or to those who still want to have the control over their forms and data.
