    I want to use the NAME from the form to customize the report and email so I can use the person's first name in the greeting, but I can't find the unique id for that. Can you tell me what it is, how to do it, or at least where to find the right one?

    Hi Timothy,

    It's really easy to find the Unique Name for each form field. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, select your Name field and choose the Gear icon.
    2. Go to Advanced tab and click the Field Details to collapse it.
    3. Copy the Unique Name. That's it.

    {name:first}

    You can use it for the email and Submission PDF. Take a look at the screenshots below to see my results:How to find the Unique Name for my Name field?
