Umbraco Forms on Cloud
In this article, you can learn about how Umbraco Forms is handled on Umbraco Cloud and read about the workflow and best practices.
Umbraco Forms is a package that is included with your Umbraco Cloud project. It gives you a nice integrated UI, where you can create Forms for your website. The package is built specifically for Umbraco and is maintained by Umbraco HQ.
Forms are handled like content and media. This means that you can transfer your Forms between environments, using the same workflow you use for content and media.
Definitions for each specific Form, its fields, workflows, and prevalues are all stored in the Umbraco database.
Entries submitted are not transferred to the next environment, as they are environment-specific. If you need to move entries from one environment to another, you need to run an export/import script on the databases.
You can work with Forms in an environment of your choice. When you need to test or use your Forms in another environment you can:
- Transfer the Forms to the next environment using Queue for transfer or
- Restore the Forms on an environment lower in the workflow.
