    How can others see who filled out the form? It is a volunteer sign-up form. I would like others to see who signed up for what event and when. Maybe that should be the first thing someone sees before signing up for the form. There can me more than one volunteer for certain events.

    Hi,

    You can use the Volunteer Sign Up Sheet template, share the table as public but restrict them on just viewing it.

    Hi!

    Thank you for your help again!

    If you have access to my forms, how would I do this (have someone see what is in the table before entering anything) in my KofC Volunteer...(card type form)?

    How about generating a GRID LISTING Report then embed it to the first page of your form using iframe embed widget?

    That allows your user to browse the existing submissions of the said form before they make their own submission. Here's a guide on how-to-create-a-grid-listing-report.

    And here's an example on how to add it to the form using iframe embed: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2rd3asvhlk06j1/3li30c7bkh.mp4?dl=0

    While here's a demo form: https://form.jotform.com/220061300377038

    Please try that and see if it'll work for you.
