One of the most popular features of Jotform is to be able to share form responses with others. Many JotFormers use this feature to create online bookmarkable reports to share with their clients and colleagues.
Embarrassingly we failed to understand how popular these features were. We introduced a new reporting tool which was good for one specific type of reports. Boy, were we wrong big time. We were blasted with many angry emails which brought us back to our senses.
Although this new reporting tool was good for some minority of users this was a huge step backwards for most users. Our users wanted to simply create an online Excel spreadsheet and send the link to their client or bookmark it on their boss’ computer.
I am happy to announce that shareable reports are back in business. To create a new sharable report, select one of your forms on “My Forms” page and then click on “Reports”, and choose “Add New Report”. You will get a screen like this:
Now, to create an Excel Report choose “Excel Report” option and then select spreadsheet columns on the next screen:
Finally, you will be provided with a URL for the report. You can copy and send this URL to others:
Now that we know how much you love these features we will keep making them better. If you have any suggestions please feel free to post them below on the comments!

I love the shareable reports feature. Is there any way to create an Excel spreadsheet without making it sharable? Perhaps emailing or simply downloading the report as needed instead of having to go public with answers? Many times forms have confidential information and making them shareable defeats that purpose.
Thanks for considering!

If I could just edit the "hidden fields" I have on my form, showing in the notifications I receive. If I could edit those fields with internal info so it was permanently added to the Excel Reports (and my submissions), that would be PERFECT!

receiving paypal payment notifications, but no records are being reported in my reports...are reports down now? or does it take awhile for the report to show submittals? It's been about an hour since the form was filled out and the paypal notification sent to me.

When I create a sharable report, all of my fields are not included in the report. When I pull an excel sheet from the submissions page, I get all my fields, but I need ALL the fields to be in the report when I use the sharable excel report.

I have a form that has several check boxes for people to select if the data next to the check box is relevant to them (make sense?) When I create a report with data from the form, the information from the section with the check box answers is all bundled together with no spacing between each answer. Is this something that could be sorted?

Yes, I agree with you. It should be possible to create feeds even when there are no submissions. I added this to our todo list. Thanks!

I use this form to create a job application for our HR department. I also have a page of all the jobs with links to the excel spreadsheets so that when the application deadline has passed, our HR department uses that page to download the spreadsheet. The option to create forms is back, however, until we actually get a submission, it says there are no reports to create. I like to create the form and the link to the spreadsheets all at the same time without having to wait until I get a submission. I could do that before. Can that be changed? Thanks so much!

1. Calendar listing option is only shown if you have a DateTime picker on your form.
2. Can you email us the URL of the shareable Excel report or the form URL?

I don't see the choice for Calendar Listing and Sharable Excel report is not working.
