Unleash the Power: Customizing Your Admin Columns

Take control of your form entry management by tailoring the admin columns to your specific needs. You can easily add, remove, and rearrange columns to display only the most relevant form fields. This customization streamlines your workflow and makes data management efficient.

Adding a column is straightforward. Select the desired form field from a list, and it instantly appears as a new column. Reordering columns is just as simple—drag and drop them to your preferred positions. Need to remove a column? A single click will do the trick.

Column settings adapt to different field types. For text fields, you might adjust the column width. Date fields allow you to choose a specific date format for consistent presentation. Numeric fields can be configured to display with specific decimal places. These settings ensure the data is presented in a way that’s easy to scan and understand.

Imagine you’re managing event registrations. Instead of sifting through each entry, create custom columns for name, email, chosen event date, and dietary restrictions. This tailored view provides an immediate overview, saving time and effort. Similarly, for customer feedback forms, prioritize columns like sentiment score, product rating, and key comments for quick analysis. Customizing your admin view lets you focus on what matters most.

Filtering and Sorting: Find What You Need, Fast

Quickly locate specific form entries using powerful filtering and sorting options. These tools save time and make data analysis easier.

Filtering allows you to narrow down entries based on specific criteria. Use keyword search to find entries containing certain words or phrases. Date range filters pinpoint submissions within a specific timeframe. You can also filter by the exact values submitted in different form fields.

To filter, locate the filter row at the top of your entries. Use the dropdown menus to select the field you want to filter. Enter your desired filter criteria, and the entries will update automatically. Combine multiple filters to refine your search even further.

Sorting arranges entries based on column values. Click on any column header to sort entries by that column. Click again to reverse the sort order. Sort by submission date, name, email, or any other relevant field.

For example, use filtering to find all entries submitted last week with a specific product selected. Then, sort the results by email address to organize your outreach efforts. Effective filtering and sorting transform your form data into actionable insights.

Inline Editing: Make Changes on the Fly

Inline editing offers a significant time-saving advantage. This feature lets you modify form entry data directly from the admin screen. Forget navigating to individual entry pages for minor adjustments. With just a few clicks, you can correct typos, update values, and finalize information instantly. To enable inline editing, activate it within the Admin Columns Enhanced – Form Builder Integration settings. Once enabled, editable fields will become active directly in the column view.

Most common field types support inline editing. Text fields, numbers, email, and dropdown selections are generally editable. However, complex fields like file uploads or rich text editors might not support direct inline modification. Be aware of these limitations when planning your workflow. Inline editing respects existing validation rules, ensuring data integrity. This means that any changes you make must adhere to the rules defined in your form. Correct errors directly in the column. Avoid opening each entry. Streamline your workflow and improve data management efficiency. This feature helps you maintain accurate and up-to-date records with minimal effort.

Exporting Data: Get Your Data Out

Beyond viewing and editing data directly, exporting allows leveraging your information outside the admin screen. Different formats are available, including CSV for basic data handling and Excel for more advanced analysis. Each format is suitable for specific needs. Export settings can be configured. Customize the exported data by selecting only the columns you need. This refined selection avoids unnecessary information. Target specific entries to export by filtering. Date ranges or keyword searches allow you to define precise data sets.

Exported data can be used for several purposes. You can perform in-depth analysis using spreadsheet software. Create reports for stakeholders. Integrate form data with other business systems, like CRM platforms. This feature provides flexibility in how you use collected data. Customize and extract the necessary data for reports, analysis, or system integrations.

Advanced Features: Calculated Columns and Beyond

Beyond basic column display lies the power of calculated columns. These dynamic columns generate values based on formulas applied to your form data. Imagine calculating a “Total Value” column by multiplying a “Quantity” field by a “Price per Item” field. The possibilities are extensive.

Formulas can leverage standard arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) and functions. For example, use SUM(field1, field2, field3) to add values from multiple fields. Nest functions for complex calculations. Need conditional logic? Incorporate IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false) to display different results based on form data.

Consider a membership form. Calculate the member’s age using their birthdate to display eligibility for certain programs. Or, use a rating form. Calculate the average ratings across a team. These columns update automatically, reflecting the most recent data. Further customization includes adjusting column width, applying custom CSS for visual enhancements, and creating combined fields. These options enhance both functionality and user experience, simplifying data management and providing deeper insights.
