Save form data• data = request.POST• form.persist(data)

Load stored form datas• datas = form.search(page,size,ﬁelds,*args,**kw)

Play with datas• for data in datas: • print data.name,data.email,data.message• ‘data’ is an instance of autoforms.models.FormInstance

A fancy tag• {% datalist page=1 pagesize=10 ﬁelds=name,email template=your-app/your- template.html %}• Diaplay your form data in a table.• All parameters are optional !
