ODS Forms: Sharing your form and reviewing its results

Edited

When editing in the ODS Forms feature, there are four functional sections in tabs across the top of the screen: Build, Access, Share, and Results.

This page describes how to Share your ODS forms and process their Results.

See this page for general information about the feature, as well as the Build and Access tabs.

Sharing your form

The Share tab gives you access to two ways to easily share your form: a URL or a QR code.

Both can be copied or downloaded and shared with those who need them.

Remember, assuming that you've already configured who can have access to your form on the Access tab, you can feel free to publicly share or post the URL or QR code for your form!

Results: Managing the responses to your form

Your form's Results tab shows you the responses to your form. A search bar is available, and you can filter the responses by date.

Note that in the lower-right-hand corner you can choose to display the responses in groups of 10, 25, or 100.

For multilingual forms, remember that responses to closed-end questions, such as true or false questions, will be shown in the default language you've chosen for the form. Open-ended questions will be shown as written.

See the results in a dataset

You can create a dataset of the form results by clicking on the Create dataset button in the upper-right.

You can also create a dataset directly from your back office using the ODS Forms submission extractor.

From your Datasets page, click New dataset, select the appropriate form and complete the creation process.

These datasets are then linked to their form. Once a form has been created, the Create dataset button is replaced with a Go to dataset button that allows you to select and display the appropriate dataset.

Note that once you have created datasets from your form data, if you receive additional form results, you are reminded that you should republish your datasets for the updates to be visible in the published data.
