# 📋 SubmitBox: Customizing global template, layout, and form fields

This article is a guide for administrators on how to customize the global SubmitBox template, including layout settings, enabling Captcha, and defining custom fields.

## Global admin settings for the SubmitBox

The following global settings can be configured for the SubmitBox by the FTAPI admin: layout and general settings, security settings, and footer links.

## Layout and general settings for the SubmitBox

To configure global settings and customize the layout of the SubmitBox, please proceed as follows:

First, click on the "**SecuForms**" tab in the top navigation bar and then select the "**Configuration**" option from the menu on the left. Scroll down until you see the button ***"*****Edit global SubmitBox template*****"*****.** Please click this button to edit the SubmitBox globally.

## Settings

The following settings can now be configured globally for all SubmitBox instances in your organization:

**Enable Captcha:**   
The submitter can only transmit their data via the SubmitBox once they have entered the Captcha.

**Processed by FTAPI-Processes:**   
This option is only relevant if you want to implement an automated data workflow (= FTAPI SecuFlows) for SubmitBox submissions.

## Layout

**Notification text for senders with active notification:**   
If enabled via custom fields, you can define the text here for the confirmation email that the submitter receives.

**Description above the form:**   
Here you can define the description that the submitter sees on the web interface below the SecuForm name.

**Title upon successful submission:**   
This title appears as soon as the submitter has successfully completed a submission.

**Message upon successful submission:**   
This message is displayed as soon as the submitter has successfully completed a submission.

**Redirect URL:**   
You can redirect submitters to this URL after a successful submission.

**Button color:**   
Defines the main color of the buttons.

**Text color:**   
Defines the text color on the buttons.

**Button display:**   
Defines the layout of the buttons (examples can be found at: [https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/buttons/](https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/buttons/) ).

**Use dark theme:**   
Activates the "Dark" layout mode.

**Transparency:**   
This setting allows you to adjust the transparency of the form fields relative to the background image.

**Background image:**   
Here you can upload any background image.

**Company logo:**   
Use this to enable the display of the company logo stored on the FTAPI server.

**Enable footer:**

## Custom fields

**Use process pages:**   
The SubmitBox can be divided into multiple pages. This is particularly useful if the SubmitBox contains a large number of fields. If process pages are used, you specify which process page the custom fields should appear on when creating them.

**Custom fields:**   
Create a new field. You can choose between various field types (see screenshot).

## Terms of use

**Enable disclaimer:**   
When activated, the disclaimer page is displayed before every submission. Only after the disclaimer is confirmed will the user reach the SubmitBox page and be able to submit files.

## Translations

Here you can set individual translations for the fields and texts. The SubmitBox attempts to detect the browser language and display the corresponding language. The default language is English.
