Customize the Form Listings Display
The forms listing page includes a list settings icon to customize how the forms are listed.
Click the settings icon at the right end of the table header, next to the Embeds column.
In the panel that opens, choose your options and apply them.
- Columns: Check the columns you want to show in the list.
- Description Excerpt: Turn this on to show the form description below the form name. It applies to the list you're viewing: when you open Formidable → Forms again, it's off. A form's description is set in its Settings → General → Form Description box.
- Items per page: Set how many forms are listed on each page.
- Click Apply.
Customize the Form Columns
The forms listing page includes the following columns. Choose which ones appear in the Columns list of the settings panel (1).
- Application: (Premium feature) This shows the applications the form is included in. Click + Add to add the form to more applications.
- Entries: This shows the number of entries submitted on the form.
- Views: This shows the number of views related to the form.
- ID: This is the ID of the form.
- Key: This is the key of the form. The form key can be customized and must be unique.
- Style: This shows the style set for the form.
- Date: The date that the form was created.
- Embeds: This shows the number of times the form has been embedded on a page.
The settings icon itself isn't in this panel. To hide or show it, open Screen Options and check or uncheck List settings.
Add a form to applications
Applications are available on the Basic, Plus, Business, and Elite licenses.
Add a form to one or more applications without leaving the forms list.
- In the Application column, click + Add next to the form.

- In the Add to Applications window, choose one or more applications from the Applications dropdown. It only lists the applications the form isn't in yet. Click outside the list to close it.
- Click Add to Applications.

The Application column updates right away to show the new applications.
If the form is already in every application, the window says so and offers a Go to Applications button instead, so you can create a new application. If you haven't created any applications yet, it says "You have not created any applications yet." and also offers the Go to Applications button.
Change the form style
Change or edit the form style directly in the form listing, by clicking the Style name in the Style column. The list shows Default and your saved styles. Choose one to change the style, or choose Edit Style at the bottom of the list to open the style editor in a new tab.
Embeds
Review where the form has been embedded by clicking the number under the Embeds column.
