Hello! Hoping to figure out how to get the form to go to the Detail View after pressing submit. By default, it stays on the same page and just says "Your responses were successfully submitted. Thank you!", but I want it to go directly to the Detail View of the new form entry. Lil' help? Thanks!

First you have create a view and fill in whatever you want for the detail tab of the view. Then you can set up your form's Confirmation action to redirect to the URL you need to display the detail view. See here - https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/general-form-settings/#kb-on-submit
Thanks! That was staring me right the face, huh? LOL Still trying to work out how to make it go straight to the detail page of the newly created entry as the entry # would only just be created upon submission of the form, but, hopefully with this info, I'll find the way! Thanks again!
It will work exactly as you want with the redirect that Rob explained. The entry ID is created by the time the redirect takes place. Include the entry id as a query string parameter for the redirect URL. Then, in your view filter use entryid = [get param=my-parameter-name].
Here's an old YouTube video I created that explains redirects and query strings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO6NqXz4bFA
Thanks Victor! Last question (I hope!): How would one "include the entry id as a query string parameter for the redirect URL"?
I've tried a bunch of different wording and no luck! Thank you!
Follow the instructions here https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/form-confirmation/#kb-redirect-to-url
and then add your parameters to the URL, If you want the id, add something to the effect of ?entryid=[id] making sure the parameter name matches the [get param...] you use in the view filter.
Got it!
mysite..../entry/?entry=[id sanitize_url=1]
That now gets you to the detail page! Yay!
Thanks so much!!!
