• What is ConfiForms?
  ConfiForms is an add-on for Atlassian Confluence which helps you to build and manage data entry forms.

• Where ConfiForms stores data?
  ConfiForms stores data in page metadata table called OS_PROPERTYENTRY. Internally the data is stored as XML. As the data is stored as page metadata it becomes a part of Confluence standard backup and restrore procedure. But this also introduces the limits - we are able store (within one form) as much as the "text_val" field in "OS_PROPERTYENTRY" table can accomodate. You can have multiple ConfiForms, this limit is per form. For example, when Confluence uses MySQL database then this field type is MEDIUMTEXT which has a limit of 16MBs (which you can easily ALTER to be of a larger size). 

• What is storage format?

• How many records could I save into ConfiForms?
  We do not have any hard limits but you have to understand that ConfiForms is not a replacement to JIRA and storing support cases in thousands and having hundreds of concurrent users accessing the same forms datasets is not what it is designed for. However, we have seen installations where ConfiForms holds 5000+ records in one form. Not recommended, but possible (See also the Q/A above). We suggest to split your data into multiple forms, have an archiving in-place using IFTTT macro and try to keep your busy ConfiForms with small datasets. Please also note that complex forms with many fields (like 100+) will need more space to hold for one record.
  
  Some numbers to share:

  Records #	Fields #	Data size	Form rendered	Admin UI all records	Rendered size (of HTML for admin UI)	All records filtered by one field, no edit controls	All records with sorting (3 fields) with Edit controls	All records,  no sorting, no Edit controls	Paged view, 50 records per page sorted, and with edit controls	Paged view, 50 records per page sorted, and no edit controls
  1564	17	2.5MB	0.15 sec	32 sec 12 sec	300 kb	6 sec	50 sec	8.5 sec	0.9 sec	0.6 sec

  This tests were executed on a very low-end machine, with 2GB of RAM total, shared VM on SSD, having the PostgreSQL database on the same machine, 1 core, Linux CentOS 7
  Updated results for AdminUI loading of 1564 records: ConfiForms version 1.26.2+ (optimizations of edit controls rendering)
