Anatomy
Inside a captured partial entry
Even an abandoned form leaves a trail. Open Results → Submissions and Formester shows you exactly what a respondent entered before they stopped — ready to recover and follow up on.
1Fields captured so farEvery answer the respondent typed before they stopped is saved — no need for them to hit submit for the data to land.
2Contact capturedIf they reached an email or phone field, you have a way to reach back out and recover the lead.
3Last seenA timestamp shows when activity stopped, so you know how fresh the entry is and when to follow up.
4Status: IncompleteThe entry is clearly flagged as incomplete. If the respondent ever returns and finishes, it's replaced with their completed submission.
