# Send responses to a sheet or a board

Keep responses in a table, or turn each one into a card on a board. Both are on the form's **Settings** tab.

## Send responses to a sheet

Click **Create a sheet for responses**. NoteMaker makes a sheet with one column for each field of the form, and adds a row for every new response.

-   Two extra columns, **Handled** and **Note**, stay in step with the Responses tab. Tick one in either place and the other follows.
-   If you add fields to the form later, click **Add missing columns**.
-   **Unlink** stops new rows but keeps the ones already there.

This works on every plan.

## Send responses to a board

Click **Choose a board**. You can pick any board you can edit. Then set:

-   **The state** new cards start in.
-   **The card title.** Use a field's label in curly braces, such as `{Name} applies for {Position}`.
-   **Which answer goes in which card field.** NoteMaker fills this in by name and type. Each card field can be used once.
-   **A page template** for the card body, if you want one.
-   **People to notify** when a card arrives. Only people who can open the board are kept.

Every response then becomes a card, owned by the board's owner, in that state. Answers you did not map are listed under **Answers** in the card.

> What a visitor types is always plain text. A link, an image or an @mention in an answer stays as typed and does not become live.

## Good to know

-   At most 60 cards an hour are created per form. Past that, responses are still saved and the board's owner is told.
-   Archiving a card marks its response **Handled**.
-   Earlier responses do not become cards. Only new ones do.
-   **Disconnect** keeps the cards already made. Deleting the board disconnects the form by itself.
-   You need to manage the form and be able to edit the board.
