FormIt CMP and saving forms

Can anyone point out where the correct documentation is to get FormIt to save submitted forms so the custom manager page actually can show them to me? I'm sure I've been through the entirety of the RTFM pages for FormIt and can't find what I need - unless it's right in front of my eyes!

Does anyone know how this works or what I need to do/add to get all forms saved to the database so they'll appear here?

Thanks in advance!

This might be what you want: FormId2db.

You need to add new hook,

FormItSaveForm

This is what I needed, and I must have found it about 5 minutes before your reply! Simple when you know, but the documentation for this is very vague and lacking.

For any future people with this issue, make sure the redirect hook is last in the list as well, because it never works for me unless it is!

&formFields lets you tell the form save which fields to use (in case you don't want all to be saved for the CMP),
&fieldNames lets you give your form fields friendlier names for the CMP

[[!FormIt?
    &hooks=`fiProcessArrays,email,FormItAutoResponder,FormItSaveForm,redirect`
    &formFields=`fieldNames,formPhoneNumber,formEmailAddress,formQuery`
    &fieldNames=`formName==Name,formPhoneNumber==Phone,formEmailAddress==Email,formQuery==Enquiry`
]]

All seems to be working great, thanks for your help!

Yes, the redirect hook redirects the user immediately, so no hooks after it will ever run.
