Count total number of form submissions

[Education_Team]

Hi all!

We are hoping to keep track of how many times we receive a form submission from the public. I was wondering if anyone knows an easy way to check that number, or if I’ll need to set up a field to designate a record as a form submission and use a summary to watch the running total?

Thanks!

I don’t think that Airtable stores any unique data related to records created via forms, so you’ll probably have to add a field. Just make it one that the user is required to fill/check, even if you don’t actually need the data from that field. Something that feels like it ties in with the other data you’re collecting, but only serves to let you know that it came from that form vs manual entry into Airtable.

Great, thank you! That’s what I was expecting.
