    How do I move a report from submissions into folders? Once in the folder can we still produce a PDF/ Excel report?

    What you can do to have your form submissions into folders, is to integrate your form with Google Spreadsheet or Dropbox, You will be able to still download your form submissions in PDF or Excel report from JotForm.

    Does this allow me to move submissions into different folders? I.e. I have reports coming in for 10 clients that I want to seperate into folders so each client only views their reports. Can this be done?

    Hi,

    Does this allow me to move submissions into different folders?

    Actually there is NO means yet to create or assign folders to the Reports created in the My Forms page.

    When creating reports for the specific form, there is no option to group the reports into folders. You will notice this when you Add New Report using the Reports button.

    I want to seperate into folders so each client only views their reports.

    What you can do here is Share the Reports URL and provide password access to prevent just anyone from viewing the reports. For example, if your report is the Excel Report 

    You can assign access password like this

    In my colleague's suggestion to use integrations like Google Spreadsheet or Dropbox, you can do achieved the creation of folders and sharing of the reports using the Google or Dropbox applications instead.

    I suggest you consult the help documents that were included in Google Docs and Dropbox on how to setup the folders and sharing of documents/reports.

     

    Hope this clarifies the matter. Please contact us again anytime if you need further assistance.

    Thanks!
