Working with HTML Forms |
Sending Data as XML
While creating a form that generates email, you can specify that the email be sent as XML data or plain text. (See Creating a New Form for information about setting this option.)
Because XML data is structured, you can easily parse the content to store and retrieve important information. Also, if you download the form data to an Excel spreadsheet, the XML tags become the spreadsheet's column headers. See Also: Exporting Form Reports.
This section contrasts XML and plain text email using the form displayed below as the example. Here is an example of a form before it is submitted.
The following table displays the resulting email, depending on the method used.
| Form sent as |
