Back to Webforms: Downloading Results Video
welcome in this video of the webform
series we're going to review how to
download results for a webform first
thing you'll need to do is navigate to
the form itself in this case I'm going
to download the results for the contact
form here and then you'll click on the
results tab
and then finally up here at the top
you'll click on download
from here you're gonna be given a lot of
different options you'll have these
format options here that'll
automatically display for you in most
cases you'll just keep these as the
default so we can skip those and you can
see you can open and close that here
same thing with the element options I'm
not gonna really mess around with those
the header options you could mess around
with if you want to but again I'm gonna
keep this pretty simple so I don't
really need any of these the main thing
that you're gonna be concerned about is
down here so here under the column
options is where you get to choose what
data points are actually going to be
pulled for the sheet you're gonna
download and so you can check in or
uncheck the various column options here
farther down you also have these
download options where you can choose to
do things like limit the number of data
points for date range so basically any
submissions between you know last
weekend today can be set by setting
these different dates here and then you
can also have it soar taught ematic ly
by ascending or descending so it'll save
you a step later down the road when
you're all done setting all these things
here you can click download and it's
going to download a CSV file which you
should be able to open in Excel and so
I'll open up here and you can see that
there's a lot of stuff going on so all
the important stuff the stuff that
people actually fill out the form is all
gonna be down here and then some other
cool stuff too these guys that have all
these little hashtags you can pull these
open and I'll actually show you the date
and time that that submission was
completed or change for created whatever
you need and if you decided to utilize
the notes feature by adding admin notes
to individual submissions those will
also be able to show up in this
downloaded form here now let's say I
want to narrow things down maybe I don't
want so much stuff on this sheet I can
go back to the downloads page here and I
can uncheck things that I don't need so
maybe for my purposes I don't need the
serial number I don't need to know when
this was created or changed I just want
to know when it was completed I'll click
those don't need to know if it's a draft
don't need the current page maybe I
don't really care about the remote IP
address all this
stuff I can go ahead and uncheck all
those things and then redownload
and open up to my file
you'll see it cleaned things up a little
bit so now I can view everything a
little bit easier I'll still need to
pull this guy open again now one thing
to note is that you can save your
settings so that after you've customized
your CSV files to appear the way you
want them to you can come down here and
click save settings and that way each
time you come back to download the
results you don't really need to change
anything else but just note that if you
chose to show a date range you might
need to change that before you
redownload and of course if you need to
you can reset the settings there so
everything goes back to its default
otherwise that's really all there is to
it you just kind of set your settings
for the CSV file you can download
download it and then you're good to go
that's how you download results from
what forms
