How to Add Different Views to Tables

November 18, 2025

Tables provide an easy way to view and manage form submission data in one place. They’re designed for collaboration, so you and other users within your organization can review, organize, and work on shared data together.

Adding different views gives you the flexibility to display and interpret submissions in the format that fits your needs. Each view offers a unique way to organize and analyze data, helping teams and individuals stay on top of information that matters most.

You can add any of the following view types to your table to manage submission data in different ways:
