I have a form that logged in users can submit multiple times. No problem there.
I'd like to make it possible for them them to export to csv their own form entries.
Any suggestions on how I might achieve this?

Hi Steve,
You can create a table view that is filtered by user_id and then utilize jQuery Datatables to export the view via CSV or PDF from the front end.

Thanks Walter. I just needed the simple button to export to CSV, and found I could leverage FrmXMLController::csv() to achieve what I needed.
