Visualizing Form Data

[Clark_Price]

Hey Everyone,

I had a question about visualizing data that you recieve from form submissions. We are accepting applications for a program that requires a small team to access the entries and approve or deny. Currently I planned on having them look at the table and expand the view to read their information. This isn’t ideal as the modals are kind of narrow and from an experience its a little cumbersome.

For anyone that has used google forms, when you are an admin you can basically look at each form submission in a way that it shows you a view of the acutal form, except with their answers filled in. This was just a more palatable way to look at each. Is there a way to do something like this in airtable?

When people submit I get an email that has all of their filled in info laid out, a page like this in airtable would be perfect. I’m new to airtable so I apologize if there is a very obvious solution to this.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, Airtable doesn’t offer any custom views, but you can create your own custom views with this app: On2Air: Amplify.

There are a lot of different ways you can achieve something like this using miniExtensions, for example. You could have a form that opens up a record and has links to the next and previous one to navigate through the list. You could also generate PDFs from the records to have a nice overview of all the data for an application. You could also use a portal or shared view (a gallery might be a nice option) to display many records at once and allow for easy expansion of each. Those options are much more customizable than Airtable's offerings, since you could for example display fields side by side and increase the width of the modal to the full width of the page.

There really are a lot of ways to achieve this, the question is just how exactly you'd wanna do this 🙂 You can try all of this out now with a free account! 🙂
