Warning

You may notice:

  • The submissions view has a new look to allow the user to search submissions using fields in your form/flow. Confluence users will only see this view.
  • The submissions Export to Excel feature has been replaced by the Download Submissions to CSV feature which produces a csv file that can easily be opened in Excel. If you have not used the Export to Excel feature in the past, we recommend that you become familiar with the Download to CSV .
  • The legacy submissions view is still available if you log directly into your Confluence tenant. However, the Legacy Submissions view and the Export to Excel may be removed in a future release.
  • The Task List also has the capability to search for tasks by specifying fields in your form/flow as search criteria.

    . See Templates in the  documentation

    . Choose a template and click Add. It will be copied to your user account and the form will immediately get added to the Confluence page.

    Info

    Publishing templates is a two-step process where the designer publishes the form/workflow, then the tenant admin makes it public. This process must be done from frevvo (not in confluence.) See Templates in the  documentation for details.


  • Choose an existing form. This will show the forms that you have previously created. Select one and click Add; the form will immediately be added to the Confluence page.

...

Form submissions can be viewed directly in your Confluence page. By default, the designer who created the form/flow can view/edit submissions. If you want non-designer users to have the ability to view/edit submissions, verify the following:

  • Those users are assigned the view/edit permission in the Access Control list for the form/flow.

Adding Submissions to a Confluence Page

To add Submissions to any page, select the Submissions menu item. This menu item is available only when the Confluence add-on is correctly installed and configured and you are logged in to Confluence as a user with the appropriate permissions.

The Add Menu in Confluence 4.x is shown in the image below:

The Add Menu in Confluence v5 has changed. Click on the Tools Menu then select Add Submissions from the menu choices.

The Add Submissions page displays. Select a form or flow from the dropdown and click "Add".

The submissions view will be added to your Confluence page. Submissions are displayed in a table view. Default columns and any fields in your form/flow that have been setup as Searchable Fields display as columns in the table. Columns can be hidden from the table view. Submissions can be searched by form fields. For example, if you are looking for a Vacation Request from employee David Russel it can be located by specifying the Name field in the form/flow and entering the text "David Russell" in the value column  in the Submissions Filter section of the screen. Double click on any submission to view all of the data.
Please refer to Viewing Form Submissions in the  documentation for a full description of all the features.

Downloading Form Submissions to a CSV file

...

Open the csv file in Excel. .

Refer to Viewing Submissions in Excel for information about the legacy Export to Excel feature and to the Download Submissions to CSV file feature topic to review the details about the csv download.

...

Tasks can be searched by fields from your forms/flows that have been set up as Searchable Fields. For example, if you are looking for a Vacation Request from employee William Reynolds, simply select the Name field from the Fields dropdown and enter the text "William Reynolds" in the value column of the Filter Form/Flow by data table.

Please refer to Searching the Task List in the  documentation for a full description of the feature.
