Unlock the full potential of your Gravity Forms data by breaking free from the constraints of single-form views. GravityView – Multiple Forms allows you to aggregate entries from multiple different Gravity Forms into a single, cohesive display on your WordPress site. Whether you are building a comprehensive directory, a unified dashboard, or a complex reporting tool, this extension provides the seamless integration needed to present data from various sources in one organized location.
Key Features
- Unified Data Display: Effortlessly combine entries from multiple distinct Gravity Forms into one GravityView display, saving you from having to create separate pages for every form.
- Flexible Source Selection: Easily choose exactly which forms you want to include in your view, giving you granular control over the data being presented.
- Consistent Styling: Maintain a professional look by applying a single View template to data coming from different forms, ensuring a uniform user experience across your site.
- Search and Filter Integration: Extend your search and filter capabilities across all combined entries, allowing users to find the information they need regardless of which form it originated from.
- Seamless Compatibility: Designed to work natively with the GravityView ecosystem, ensuring that your existing Views and configurations remain stable while gaining new data-aggregation powers.
- Dynamic Data Handling: Automatically updates your display as new entries are submitted to any of the connected forms, keeping your information current without manual intervention.
Use Cases and Who It’s For
GravityView – Multiple Forms is an essential tool for site administrators, developers, and business owners who rely on Gravity Forms to collect diverse types of data. If you are managing a platform that requires a bird’s-eye view of information gathered through different channels, this plugin is for you.
For example, a property management company might use separate forms to collect rental applications, maintenance requests, and tenant feedback. With this plugin, they can create a single “Property Dashboard” that displays all these activities in one place for the management team. Similarly, event organizers can aggregate registrations from multiple specialized forms‚Äîsuch as VIP, General Admission, and Vendor sign-ups‚Äîinto a single master attendee list, streamlining check-in processes and reporting.
Setup and How It Works
- Install and Activate: Ensure you have both Gravity Forms and the core GravityView plugin installed and active on your WordPress site, then install the Multiple Forms extension.
- Create or Edit a View: Navigate to your GravityView settings and create a new View or edit an existing one.
- Select Data Sources: Within the View configuration, locate the data source settings where you can now select multiple forms instead of being limited to just one.
- Configure Fields: Map the fields from your selected forms to your View layout. The plugin helps you align similar fields (like “Name” or “Email”) so they display correctly regardless of which form the data came from.
- Publish and Display: Once configured, publish your View. Your site visitors will see a unified list, table, or custom display populated by entries from all the forms you selected.
Similar Plugins
While GravityView – Multiple Forms is a specialized extension for the GravityView ecosystem, users looking for alternative ways to display Gravity Forms data might consider general-purpose data display plugins such as TablePress, which can be used to manually or programmatically display form data, or various “Gravity Forms to Post” type plugins that convert entries into WordPress posts, allowing them to be displayed via standard WordPress archives or custom query plugins like Query Monitor or Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) integrations.
