Overview
This article is intended to describe the various options to set who receives the Sent Form email (typically with attached PDF) when a Form is sent from a device.
Setting Mandatory Recipients (in the Portal)
After you've published a Form to the Portal, you can add Mandatory Recipients who will receive the Sent Form Email each time that Form is submitted.
1. Log in to the Field2Base Portal
2. Navigate to Admin > Form Templates
3. Click on the Select an Action button next to the Form you want to edit Recipients for

4. Select Edit Recipients from the drop-down
5. On the Edit Recipients page, you can use the Select Sender button to:
- Select All Users to apply the same mandatory sending rule to everyone that sends Forms for your Company (default)
- Select an individual User that has separate sending preferences from other Users
6. Use the Select Mandatory Recipients Drop Down Button to select one or several recipients.

7. Click Submit to finalize changes, or Return to Form List to discard changes.
As part of your form design, you have the ability to control the recipients that end users can select to email a PDF of a Form when they send it. The default setting in Forms Designer is to always allow choosing Optional Recipients when sending a Form and to allow new recipient emails to be manually added.
The list of Optional Recipients includes all Users who have access to the respective Folder and who are enabled as Optional Recipients in their User Profile (see the article on Managing Users and Recipients for details on User Profiles). Changing Recipient Options
1. Open your form in Forms Designer.
2. Click on the Form tab on the menu ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Click on Recipients to open the Recipient Options.
A. Always - User can always select optional recipients when they send in a form (default)
B. Never - User will not get the Recipient screen during form sending. If this option is selected, the option to allow the User to enter an email manually will not be available.
C. When there aren't any automatic recipients - User will only get the optional recipient screen when there are no Mandatory Recipients through the Portal (see section above on Setting Mandatory Recipients for more details)
D. Let tablet users send this form to any e-mail address - User can manually enter an email for a recipient that is outside of the Field2Base Portal.

Note: The checkbox for "Let tablet users send this form to any e-mail address" is checked by default. If you do not want your Users to manually enter email addresses to send a form to, you will need to uncheck this box.
Using E-mail Regions to Set Recipients
You can also use E-mail Regions to include recipients for a Form during form design using Forms Designer. E-mail Regions contain an option to automatically send the Sent Form e-mail to the e-mail address entered into the Region. This option is found in the Region Properties for E-mail Regions. For more information on Email Regions, see the Email Regions video or the
Region Types article.
