# Basic details
The basic details of the form consist of five parts as shown below:
## 1. General settings

|
{% hint style="warning" %}
The fields **Select Group** and **Form Name** are mandatory. A form cannot be created without entering values for these fields.
{% endhint %}
## 2. Form update and delete settings
| Field | Description |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Form entries **can be updated** after submission | Turn on this toggle switch if you want to allow the user to edit the entries after the form is submitted |
| Form entries **cannot be deleted** after submission | Turn on this toggle switch if you want to prohibit the deletion of entries after submitting the form |
| Visible only to group admins and super-admins | Turn on this toggle switch if you want to restrict the access of the form to only group admins and super admins |
| Enable system only submissions | Turn on this toggle switch if you want the system to create submissions of the form automatically based on the workflow configuration. The users can't manually submit these type of forms. |
## 3. Language settings
Field
Select language to be applied
Select the language in which you want to display the title of this form
Provide form name in other languages configured for this form
Here you can give the desired title in the selected language.
example:
अदायगी
if the selected language is Hindi for the form "Reimbursement".
1. The given title in the selected language will appear only when the user system language is in the selected language. Example: The title अदायगी will appear when the user system language is Hindi, else the form title will be rendered in English.
2. The form title can be configured in more than one language.
To know more about language settings, see [**Language settings for fields**](https://docs.senpiper.com/form-builder/creating-forms/adding-fields-and-saving-a-form/language-settings-for-fields).
## 4. Master data settings
| Field | Description |
| --------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Use form submissions as master data for other forms | This option helps to create the current form answers as master data |
| Apply master data to this form | This option helps to use master form data to fill in the current form data |
Master records act as a source dataset in a process. (e.g. we need to have a drop-down of cities across multiple forms, So instead of asking user to fill cities manually every time in each form, we can create a master dataset of cities that can be used in different forms across the system.)
To know more about master data settings, see [**Master settings for fields**](https://docs.senpiper.com/form-builder/creating-forms/adding-fields-and-saving-a-form/creating-master-records) and [**Master data settings**](https://docs.senpiper.com/form-builder/creating-forms/broken-reference).
## 5. Parent child relationship settings
| Field | Description |
| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Use form as a parent to other forms | This toggle helps to set the form in consideration as a parent form |
| Use this form as a child to other form | This toggle helps to set the form in consideration as a child form to an already created parent form in the same group |
To understand the use cases, see [**Parent-child form settings**](https://docs.senpiper.com/form-builder/advanced-concepts/parent-child-form-settings).
## 6. Keep form submissions unique
| | |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Field** | **Description** |
| Enable the uniqueness check |
This setting ensures that the selected field has unique value in every form submission. No two submissions can have same value for the selected field/s.
|
| Select field which will act as unique value for all submissions | Select the field for which you want to ensure unique value in every submission |
| What should be the behavior if a new submission is uploaded with same data |
If a new form submission is created with duplicate value for the selected field, then what should be the desired acton that system should take.
List of actions to be taken if the value submitted for the field is not unique:
Discard new submission – The new submission for the field will be removed, and the old submission will be retained
Override previous submission – The old submission will for the field will be removed, and the new submission will be retained
Throw an error – An error message will be displayed to the user
|
The uniqueness feature ensures that there is no duplication of any field values. For a given field, it restricts a user from submitting a value that already exists in the data from the previous submissions made to the form.
**Important**: The uniqueness check will apply to bulk submissions (submissions via uploading an excel) as well.
