What are Formidable Views

Views are a way to transform and revolutionize what you do with collected form data in WordPress. With Views, you have a tool to build something truly unique and memorable.

Views allow you to build an application or display for your form data to feed into. Any data that is submitted through a Formidable form can be displayed beautifully, searched for, or filtered on the front end of your site.

What does low-code mean?

Low-code refers to a user interface (UI) platform that provides a development environment used to create web applications. So, instead of writing many lines of code, most options and settings are built-in to allow users the freedom to build web apps easily.

What types of websites can I make with Views?

With Views, there are endless ways to display your form data. Tweak every possible option with Formidable's View settings. For developers, we also have advanced view concepts that will blow your clients away. You can even create forms where either the admin or users manage submissions.
