I'm between a core duo Macbook and newer iMac, both 2+GHz, 2GB RAM. I'm usually in Firefox (Web Developer toolbar and Firebug), but I can give Chrome a shot. I'm afraid its a bit late to redo this whole form, but I'll keep it in mind for next time. Thanks for the help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/exporting-entries-from-multiple-forms-andor-merging-forms#post-15217 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 16:54:32 +0000 Carl Hancock 15217@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The form builder is built on AJAX and Javascript. The bigger the form gets, depending on your browser and machine you could run into performance issues because Javascript is all executed client side. What kind of machine are you developing on and which browser you are using? This typically only happens in extreme circumstances. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/exporting-entries-from-multiple-forms-andor-merging-forms#post-15215 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 16:10:47 +0000 cobra 15215@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the response. I was all about the multi-page functionality, until the form editor became rather sluggish (sometimes 5+ sec. requests to add a field) and slightly cumbersome to maneuver with length. Guess I'm out of luck. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/exporting-entries-from-multiple-forms-andor-merging-forms#post-15212 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 16:04:40 +0000 Carl Hancock 15212@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It isn't currently possible to export entries for multiple forms at once or merge forms. You would have to write custom code to do this. The data in the database may appear cryptic because the data is stored as a serialized array.</p> <p>If you were going to pass data from form to form using GET you might as well use the multi-page capabilities and create a multi-page form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/exporting-entries-from-multiple-forms-andor-merging-forms#post-15208 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 15:40:38 +0000 cobra 15208@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I should note that I thought about sending the info from each page to the next manually using the GET method, but there are simply too many fields, and I don't want to go to the trouble. You can call me lazy, but it has more to do with my sanity. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/exporting-entries-from-multiple-forms-andor-merging-forms#post-15207 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 15:37:32 +0000 cobra 15207@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I began creating a multi-page form before realizing it was simply too big to deal with. So I split it up into 9 separate forms, included on 9 separate pages, with each form submission continuing to the next page in succession. Works great. The only problem is, I'm left with 9 separate entries, which need to be separately exported (not to mention 9 confirmation emails, which isn't great, but I can deal with).</p> <p>So two questions...</p> <p>1) Is there a way to export entries from multiple/all forms at once? Getting all the data out of there with a couple clicks instead of selecting each form from the dropdown would work well.</p> <p>and/or</p> <p>2) Is it possible to merge forms, so that I can go back and create a multi-page form easily?</p> <p>I looked at the SQL schema, and it seems a bit cryptic, so I really don't want to go there. If there is some other solution I haven't thought of, please let me know. I could imagine both of these features being potentially useful in various circumstances. </p>
