Dashboard Management

Dashboards are a method of presenting lists of Forms submitted (filled in) for a specific Form Template. Dashboards allow you to define pre-set filters, columns, and sort order useful for providing meaningful data to different groups of users. A single Form Template may have any number of Dashboards used to display data in different ways.

Dashboards are commonly configured to allow the viewing and editing of Form data with security rules applied. This section will outline how to create and manage Form Dashboards.

For details on Form Dashboard Security, refer to the Form Security help pages. Advanced Dashboard features can be found in the Form Dashboards and Reports help pages.
