Show a Form Entries Table

— Premium Feature —

Use the formresults shortcode to show all form entries in a table on the front-end. The presentation of data is not customizable with this shortcode. If you need more control, you can create a View.

Form entries table shortcode

Insert the following shortcode in a page, post, or anywhere shortcodes are accepted.

[formresults id=x]

Display entries from a particular form in a table. Replace 'x' with the form ID.
