Forms Overview

Form Submission Methods​

DataPress provides two form submission methods, each optimized for different scenarios. Choose the one that best fits your business needs:

Universal Capture​

Universal Capture is the most reliable method for comprehensive data collection and automation:

  • Asynchronous processing — submissions are processed in the background without blocking the user
  • Dedicated storage — all records are sent to a separate dedicated table, ensuring data integrity
  • Multi-table data aggregation — collects and aggregates data from different tables seamlessly
  • Best for: Full automation scenarios and complex data workflows
  • Note: Less suitable for direct record updates, as it routes data through an intermediary table

Send To Dataverse​

Send To Dataverse is a synchronous method optimized for direct table interactions:

  • Synchronous processing — records are written directly and immediately to their respective tables
  • Direct table mapping — data goes directly into the designated Dataverse tables
  • Best for: Record editing, updates, and workflows where immediate data availability is critical
  • Advantage: Simplified editing workflows with real-time data persistence
