Segment your forms 

To segment your forms, you can apply filters based on form details to your forms table. This set of filters can be saved as a view that you can access whenever you want an overview of the forms that meet the set criteria. Learn more about creating, customizing, and managing saved views

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Lead Capture > Forms.
  • At the top of the table, click the Add view dropdown menu. You can create a view from scratch or use an existing view to create a new view:
