## Configure Settings

- **Post Type**: Choose **where the form data will be stored** in WordPress: **Posts, Pages, Media, Floating Elements** , or **My Templates**.

- **Post Status:** Choose the visibility status of your selected post type.

- Enable **Run only to logged in users** option, if you want **only logged-in users** to submit the form and save submissions as posts.

- After enabling **Save Submissions in Post Type**, the next step is to map your form fields to WordPress post fields.

- Navigate to the "**Advanced Tab**" of the form field that you want to register.

- From the registration options, choose how the field data should be saved: **Post Title**, **Post Content**, **Post Author**, **Post Excerpt**, or **Custom Field**.

If you select **Custom Field**, simply enter a name for the field. FormsDB will automatically create and store this custom field for the post.

- Follow the same steps for each form field you want to save as part of the post.

- After satisfied, publish your page.

Now, every time the form is submitted, the data will be **automatically saved to selected WordPress Posts Type**.
