How to show my form's submission data on my form?

    I'm hosting a gathering where everyone will bring food to share.

    I need the person to be able to view how many people have signed up to bring an item so that they do not bring the same one. It needs to be updated with every submission.

    I am using the dropdown for the category. And I am using the short answer for the specific item. I do not want to have too many sign ups in any one category, so I need the user to see the ongoing results before they sign up.

    Is there a recommendation?

    Thanks,

    M

    Hi Missy,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you create a report for your form, we can show that on your form using the iFrame embed widget. Let me show you how to do that:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Quick Navigational button on the top left corner of the page and select Report Builder.How to show my forms submission data on my form? Image 1 Screenshot 60
