Where to find the from responses

0
Dear Mendix Team,   I am very new into creating apps with Mendix and just created my first app using the "Forms" template. I have published the app, filled in the form and submitted it.   Where can I find the responses?   Your help will be much appreciated!   Thank you!

Hi Cleanthis

 

(I am talking about the application, as if you have not changed anything about it)

Talking technically: when you submit a form, you actually create a 'Response' object in your domain model, so you need to visualise your response objects in order to see them.

However, they are visualised by default in the template you use. To consult these in your application, you will need to log in with an account who has sufficient rights to see the answers (probably the MxAdmin). However, if you run the application locally, you can easily do this by switching to the demo_content_administrator as such:

This will take you to a page where you can see the answers you submitted.

 

I hope this helps

Hi Cleanthis

 

The export to excel button that is in a data grid by default will export the contents of the data grid. If you want to have different exports compared to what is in your grid, you will need to write custom excel export logic by using the Excel exporter module on the marketplace: https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/726

 

However, do note that this is already a bit more complex, and I suggest you get some more knowledge of Mendix before you do this. Some great foundation of your Mendix knowledge can be found here: https://academy.mendix.com/link/paths

 

Good luck! :)

Hi Juriaan,

 

Thank you for your response, that was exactly what I needed!

 

A bonus question :)

Is there a way I can change the information that appears in the excel file when I am pressing the: "Export to Excel" button?
