How to Create a Grid Listing Report

March 10, 2025

Jotform’s Grid Listing feature is a powerful tool for displaying form submissions directly on your web page. A classic example is the ability to show new submissions immediately after a user hits the Submit button, providing real-time visibility of data. The generated Grid List offers a high level of customization and interactivity, allowing you to manage and present submission data in a way that best suits your needs.


Creating a Grid List Report is easy to do. Here’s how to do it:

  1. On your My Workspace page, click on Type at the top and in the Dropdown menu that opens, uncheck the boxes next to all the assets except Forms, so only they’ll be shown on the page.
On the Jotform My Workspace page, the 'Type' dropdown menu is open, with all asset options unchecked except 'Forms,' showing only forms on the page
  1. On your My Workspace page, click on the form that you want to generate a Grid Listing Report for.
  2. In the menu at the top of the page, click on Reports.
Selected form with the top menu bar visible
  1. Then, click on Add New Report.
Displays the 'Reports' menu open, with the 'Add New Report' option visible, allowing the user to create a new report in Jotform

As an alternative, you can also click on More on the right side of the screen and in the Dropdown menu, click on Create Report.

The 'More' option is on the right side of the screen
  1. On the Create Report page that opens, click on Grid Listing.
On the Create Report page, the 'Excel Report' option is visible for selection in Jotform
  1. Next, set up the following options:
    • Report Name — Type the name of the report that’ll be shown under the Reports menu on your My Forms page.
    • Fields — Include or exclude fields and other information such as Submission IDs, Submission Dates, or IP addresses.
    • Report Configurations — Enable or disable additional report settings the way you want them.
      • Password protection — Add an optional but added layer of security.
      • Display photo instead of a link — Enable this if you want to show the images uploaded on your form instead of just showing them as a link.
      • Display images in a modal window — When someone clicks on an image in the Grid Table, it’ll be presented as a modal popup (or a lightbox, like you see below).
      • Show edit URLs — With this enabled, a new column will be added to the Grid Table that’ill show a link to edit the respective submission.
      • Auto-fit grid report to window — When enabled, the entire Grid will automatically resize itself to the size of the browser window.
      • Grid Cell Maximum Height — Set the maximum height of each row on the Grid Table.
  2. Now, click on Create at the bottom of the page, and you’re all set.
The Create Report page displays options to configure the Grid Listing Report

You’ll then be prompted that the Grid Listing Report is ready, and now you can do the following things:

  1. Copy Link Button — Copy the Grid Listing Report link to your clipboard.
  2. Iframe Embed Code — Use the Iframe Embed Code to embed the Grid Listing Report on a website or dashboard.
  3. Open Report Button — Open the Grid Listing Report in a new tab.
  4. X Button — Close the Grid Listing Report window.
A prompt appears confirming that the Grid Listing Report is ready

You’re all set! Your Grid Listing Report is now ready to use. You can easily share the report link, embed it on your website, or open it in a new tab for quick access. With its customizable options and interactive features, the Grid Listing Report provides a seamless way to manage and display submission data in real time.
