This glossary details key terms used through Formulayt reports.


Gate loadA single load of a gate on a webpage. This will normally coincide with the page load and is not dependent on user interaction. All gates record this event.
Form viewA single view, by a user, of a form on a gate. For inline gates, this is when the form scrolls into view. For modal gates, it's when the user opens the gate. Only gates with a visible form record this event.
Form startThis action is recorded when the user starts interacting with fields on a gate's form. For fully pre-populated gates, this event is recorded when the user submits the form. This event is not recorded by blind submission gates. 
Form submissionThis action is recorded when a user directly submits a gate's form. This event is not recorded by blind submission gates. 
Blind submissionBlind submissions can be raised by open gates. This process is detailed in this KB article: https://cirrus1.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/36000200374
