Hello Guys, It would be great if new form entries could be listed on the Dashboard in a Dashboard Widget. The user can see at one glance what new form entries were submitted. Is there anything like this? Thank you so much

Hi Raffi, if you have a dashboard customizer, you could make a View and pop its shortcode into a text widget in the dashboard.

Hello Michael,
I cannot find the shortcode to view list of all entries or the newest entries that are submitted.
and yes im using Ultimate Dashboard to customize my dashboard

Thank you again for your help

[frm-entry-links id=x field_key=y type=select]

It should be this one right?

Michael ClarkMichael Clark replied 1 year ago

Hi Raffi,

The shortcode you've shared is one used *within* a View to edit entries.

You will first need to Create a View based on the form, using the data elements you wish to display and and actions you want to take, such as, editing and/or deleting entries.

Here is a link to the documentation for creating Views:

..and also a link to their YouTube channel. I find that searching within their channel on a topic is helpful for finding specific tutorials:

Here's what a View shortcode looks looks like:

[display-frm-data id=x filter=limited]

..and here's a link to the documentation on how to *publish* your View (you'll likely want to use the manual method):

Hi Raffi,

The best way to find Formidable add-ons is in the WP admin:

Formidable > Add-Ons

Once you're there, use the search in the upper right of the screen and enter, "sheets". The new Formidable add-on for Google Sheets will be there as well as the Zapier add-on. The Zapier add-on is for using Zapier to make automations that integrate Formidable with Google Sheets, Google Drive, and hundreds of other applications.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Here's a link to a post by the Formidable team on their new Sheets add-on:L

Oh yeah i've already done this, So the add on is already activated.

The question is, Every entry is submitted. i want to upload the entry pdf in my google Drive.
Is there a way to do that?

i'm already using Zapier to pull the entry content and put it in google sheets.

Hi Raffi, I'd start a new Forum Question about this issue, as you will likely get a number of good ideas on how to do this. For instance, you could use the Sheets add-on to namage getting entries into Sheets and use Zapier to integrate Gmail and a Google Drive to save entry pdf attachments from confirmation emails to Google Drive folders. Or maybe there's a way to use Formidable's API functionality to integrate with your Drive account.

Starting a new Forum Topic in How-To would be my suggestion so more people see the need and can respond to it. 🙂
