GravityView

GravityView transforms your Gravity Forms data into powerful, front-end displays, allowing you to build dynamic directories, job boards, member lists, and more without writing a single line of code. If you are already collecting information through your forms, GravityView unlocks the hidden value of that data by enabling you to display, search, filter, and edit entries directly on your website. It is the essential bridge between collecting data and showcasing it to your users, making it a must-have tool for developers, site owners, and agencies looking to build data-driven applications within the WordPress ecosystem.

Key Features

• Front-End Entry Display: Effortlessly turn your form submissions into searchable, sortable, and filterable tables, lists, or data maps on your website.
• Front-End Editing: Grant users or administrators the ability to update their own entries directly from the front end, keeping your data accurate and up-to-date without needing access to the WordPress dashboard.
• Advanced Search and Filtering: Provide your visitors with robust search tools, including category filtering, date ranges, and keyword searches, ensuring they find exactly what they need quickly.
• Customizable Layouts: Utilize a drag-and-drop interface to design how your data looks. Choose from various view types like Table, List, Data Table, or DIY layouts to match your site‚Äôs design perfectly.
• Permission Controls: Maintain complete control over who can view, edit, or delete entries, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure and accessible only to authorized users.
• Developer Friendly: Extend functionality with ease using a comprehensive library of hooks, filters, and templates, allowing for deep customization if you need to build complex, bespoke solutions.

Use Cases / Who It’s For

GravityView is designed for anyone who needs to manage and display user-submitted content. It is the perfect solution for business owners and developers who want to leverage the data they are already collecting.

Membership Directories: Create professional member portals where members can update their own profiles, upload headshots, and search for other members based on specific criteria.

Job Boards and Classifieds: Build a fully functional job board where employers submit job listings via a form, and candidates can search, filter, and apply for those roles in a clean, professional display.

Event Management: Collect event registrations or speaker submissions and display them in a public schedule, an attendee list, or a speaker directory.

Business Listings: Whether you are building a local business directory, a restaurant guide, or a vendor list, GravityView provides the structure needed to display business details, contact information, and ratings effectively.

Setup / How It Works

Getting started with GravityView is designed to be intuitive for anyone familiar with the WordPress dashboard. The process follows a logical flow to get your data live in minutes:

1. Create Your Form: Start by building the foundation using Gravity Forms. Ensure all the fields you want to display are included in your form.
2. Create a View: Navigate to the GravityView menu in your WordPress dashboard and create a new View. Select the form you just created as the data source.
3. Configure the Layout: Use the drag-and-drop editor to choose your View type (e.g., Table or List) and add the fields you want to display in the Multiple Entries screen and the Single Entry screen.
4. Set Permissions and Settings: Configure who can see the data, enable front-end editing if required, and set up your search and filter bars to ensure a smooth user experience.
5. Publish: Once configured, GravityView automatically generates a shortcode or a dedicated page for your View. Simply publish the page, and your form data is now live and searchable on your site.

Similar Plugins

While GravityView is a comprehensive solution for Gravity Forms, other tools exist for displaying WordPress data, such as TablePress for static data tables, or more advanced, developer-centric database management tools like WP Data Access. However, for users specifically looking to integrate directly with the Gravity Forms ecosystem, GravityView remains the industry standard for front-end entry management.
