    Hello. I am using a Testimonial form embedded on my website. I receive "public" comments in my email but how do I get them to show up on my website so that others can read them? Is there a plugin I need to use?

    Hi,

    You can embed several different reports to your page or to the form itself. 

    The report may be accessed via direct link on our website, and placed (embedded) on your web pages. Report embedding option may be useful if you want to share the submitted data between form users.
     
    It comes with an optional Password protection, and sort submissions data by Ascending/Descending order (try to click on the column titles on your live report) features.
     
    Let's start with creating your first HTML Table Listing Report.
    (All data shown are just example for you to visually understand.)
     
    1. Click on the 'My Forms'  link.
     
    Click on My Forms Screenshot 10
     
     
     
    2. Click on your form to 'Select' it.
    Select the form Screenshot 21
     
     
    3. Click on the 'Reports' drop down, and then select the 'Add New Report' option.
     
    Click on the Reports Screenshot 32
     
     
     
    4. Select the 'HTML Table Listing', and click on the 'Next' button.

    5. Set the report 'Name', configure your report 'Fields', and enable the 'Password protection' option if you need it, then click on the 'Next' button.

    6. That is it. The report is ready. You will get a 'Direct link' to the Report, and the 'iFrame code' (that code is used for embedding, so you can embed the report on your web pages).

    This is how the report will look like:

    You can also create an RSS report to show your submissions as a news feed:
     
     
    However, this will require a browser plugin or RSS reader to view.
