Filters/Workflow
During the creation of a Form you can set specific fields to be
- Searchable - The field will be usable to search on your Form on the 'Advanced search' screen
- Show in basic search - The field will be searchable on the 'Basic search' screen. Use this in combination with 'Searchable'
