Is there a way to export User Information?

Hello, I have several forms, each form having between 50-200 entries.

Is there a way to export these entries to a CSV/XML which includes each entry User Information?

By user information, I mean:

  • IP address
  • Browser/OS
  • Referrer
  • Pages visited

If I open an entry, I can see this information, but if I export the entry, the information is not there (with the exception of "printing" the page, but I need to export all the entries from that form, so it doesn't help).  

Did anyone find a solution to this?

Thank you.

Update: I managed to export it from Formidable Forms -> Export/Import -> XML.
The XML export shows all the User Information under the "description" column.
All this information is in a single text string, so you have to use various methods to separate it.

These are the steps I did:
1. Used an online tool to make the XML to CSV;
2. Opened the file with LibreOffice Calc;
3. I used REGEX commands in Find & Replace to delete unnecessary text before and after what I needed, which was the "referral" data.
3.5. To use REGEX commands in Find & Replace, you have to check the "Regular expressions" box.

I hope this helps someone one day.
