How to create and use response view

How it works

Response views give you intant access to all of your data across all of your forms in your workspace. When you create a response view, you can immediately see every response predefined columns such as Responded At, Form Name, and Status.

The response view can then be customized to include data from specific columns from one or more Formlis, show data associated with events (like Payments), or even filtered to show a subset of the original data.

Once your response view is has been customized and filtered, your response data can easily be exported directly to Google Sheets or CSV.


Response View Types

“Response” View

The response view type defines the granularity of the response data you are viewing. By default, a response view is a type Responses. This view type shows one row per response.

For example, if someone starts a Form and completes it it would show one row with the data collected from any completed blocks. If the responder does not complete the response, the a row will still be present in the Response view with the status of “In Progress”.

“Payment” View

A response view can be a “Payment” response view. A “Payment” response view will have one row per payment. These payment rows will be able to display additional data specific to the payment such as Payout Date, Payment Status, Payment Date.

For example, if a responder signs up to make a recurring payment, the response view would contain one row that is can display data specific to that payment. The following month when the payment renews, two rows will be show in the response view and each row would show information specific to the payment that was made. If the the payment in the following month a fails, it will show a Failed as a Status on the second payment.

In addition to showing payment specific data, “Payment” views also have the ability to show any data from the original response. For example, if a responder completed any other blocks in addition to the Payment block, that response data from the those blocks will be included in the response view.


Setup Guide

Formli has two types of response views: Responses and Payments. A “Responses” response view will have one row per response, while a “Payment” response view will have one row per payment. Both types of views allow you to add, delete or edit columns, sort your responses and apply filters for each column. You can use columns from one Formli or combine them from different forms.
