"Save to Database: Select to make submissions for this form viewable within the module."
Using "Save to Database" is not appropriate for this based on what it does. Please change to "Toggle Ability to View Submissions" or something along those lines.
I assumed that unchecking "Save to Database" would mean that form submissions would only send to the designated email address(es) and not be saved to the Form Center. However, I tested it by checking the box later, and then all form submissions were displayed in the system, meaning that they were absolutely saved to the database. Please update the language used within the Form Center itself so that this is clear.
