After viewing the form for the first time, you may want to change the status to **Under Review**, then **assign the form to another volunteer to follow up** on one or more of the steps (phone interview, vet check etc), then have that volunteer update the comments on the form, change the status and then assign the form to another volunteer for completion. When you assign a form to a volunteer with a RescueGroups.org user account, that form is easily found using their My Forms link on their dashboard.

There are additional settings that allow you to determine which contacts are added to your contacts list automatically.

You can adjust this under [Contacts > Contacts Settings](https://manage.rescuegroups.org/contacts_settings)

# Print a submitted online form as a PDF
You can print a PDF of a submitted online form. To print a PDF of a submitted form, go to the submitted forms data table, and scroll to the form you want to print. To the left of the form, click the PDF icon (see screenshot).
The submitted form opens as a PDF. The questions are in boldface with the answers below the questions in Roman typeface.
Your screen should offer you a download and print icon. To print, simply select the print icon and continue to select a printer and print.
To email the PDF, download the form, then open your email client and start a new email. Attach the downloaded file.
# PDF Contract from a submitted form
**PDF Contract:** The PDF Contract feature gathers details from a specific submitted Online Form, and enters it into a contract document that you provide to our team electronically. For example, a PDF Contract can fill out all contact and animal details for your Adoption Contracts. The PDF contract is set up by RescueGroups.org support. For more information about creating PDF contract files online for your organization, see [PDF Contracts](/doc/65e4e790-6b71-463f-b0b8-04185659e61b).
