Exporting Data as a Spreadsheet

Exporting your submission data into a spreadsheet format is a quick way to track, analyze, or share information collected from your forms. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.

Select Your Submissions
From the All Submissions page, check the boxes next to the submissions you want to export. Ensure they’re from the same form.

Open the Export Menu
Click the Actions button and choose Export from the dropdown menu.

Customize Your Export
Here’s where you can tailor your export to get exactly the data you need. Refer to the annotated screenshot below for a visual guide to these options.

A Spreadsheet (XLSX): Exports your data as an Excel file.
B CSV (Comma Separated Values): Exports your data as a CSV file, which is compatible with many different programs.
C Inline Table Data: Check this box if your form has tables and you want all the table data in a single JSON-formatted column.

D Links to Private Upload Files: Includes active links to any files uploaded with the submission.
E Columns starting with [Droplet] (like Submission ID, Status, and Workflow Step) are about the submission process. Use this option to quickly exclude all Droplet-related columns from your export.
F Save your export settings for this form, so you don’t have to reconfigure them next time.

Export and Download
Once your options are set, click Export to generate your file. It will download automatically to your computer.
