Formstack is a great tool for collecting all the information you need from prospects, customers, employees, and more. But it’s not just for collecting data. Our form builder has some powerful form analytics features that can help you view and analyze your data for deep insights.Using functionality found in the Submissions tab of the Formstack database, you can create specialized reports of your submitted data. These reports can be designed around a number of parameters, meaning the data can be sliced and diced in whatever way is most helpful to you.Want to know more? Here are a few steps you can take to create and use custom reports in the Formstack database:
To create a custom Formstack report, you’ll want to start by setting up one or more filters from the Submissions tab in the database. To do this, simply select New at the top of the screen and then Filter. When the Filter Submissions options pop up, create up to five filters to search your data and display only submissions that meet your filter criteria. When your filters are ready, select Save & Search to run the report.Once the report has been run, it’s a good idea to give it an identifying name by clicking the edit icon next to the Untitled text and typing the desired name. This will allow you to easily find the report at a later time in your Report dropdown menu.Want to see these steps in action?
