Questions to consider for your general submission form

Use these questions as suggestions when editing your copy. Keep the ones that fit your purpose and add any details your process needs.

  • What type of submission are you sending?
  • What subject or reference should we use?
  • What details should the reviewer understand?
  • Which supporting document is relevant, if any?
  • How would you prefer us to follow up?

How to use the responses

The example combines contact details, an optional address, a submission type, a detailed message, and supporting-file upload. Remove the address unless it helps handle the submission. Replace the selectable 'Please Select' answer with an appropriate prompt so a placeholder is not mistaken for a submission type. Explain accepted file formats and limits, and avoid requesting confidential records through a general-purpose inbox. Choose who reviews each type and set realistic response expectations. A received submission is not an accepted application, an approved request, or a resolved complaint.

How to customize and share this template

  1. Explain the type of file you want, why it is needed, and who should submit it.
  2. Keep enough identifying context to match the file to the right project or request. State the accepted material and any size expectations before the upload question.
  3. Test the form with a suitable sample in your own copy, then decide where submissions will be reviewed and how you will follow up on missing information.

Frequently asked questions

Does a submission form need a file upload?
No. Keep the supporting-file question optional when a clear description or link is enough. If documents are needed, explain what to attach and review the current file limits on Youform plans. Collect only material your team will actually use in its review.
Can I customize this form template?
Yes. Choose Use this template to make your own copy in Youform. Edit the questions and colors, review the whole flow, then share a link or embed it on your website. See Youform plans for advanced features.
What is the file-size limit on the free plan?
Youform Free supports file uploads up to 10MB. State the limit in your instructions and check the pricing page for the plan details before collecting larger files.
Should I ask for anything besides the file?
Ask for a project name, reference, or short explanation if the reviewer needs it to identify the file. Avoid asking people to repeat information your team already has unless it is needed to match the submission.
