Same person, multi week data entry; download results

  1. Have an application where user enters profile data in week 1 screen, then a week later, after logging in, enters week2 data, etc for 6 weeks. Is that data for all 6 weeks all stored together and can it be downloaded as a single record? Is the data stored in an SQL database or where? Also, is this file updateable from a mobile app?

  2. Each form submission creates a new entry, so they would not be storing all 6 weeks in one entry. It would be 6 entries. Maybe there would be a unique identifier, a record number, to keep all the data grouped together.

    All the Gravity Forms entries are stored in the same database as your WordPress installation. There are tables created by Gravity Forms upon installation and the entries are stored there.

    You can submit form entries from a mobile device, but "updating a file" is not really what is happening. You are submitting one form multiple times over 6 weeks. That data is all stored in one database table, and each form submission will be a record in the database. You would not be updating the same record each time.
