CF8 - Export Data

remline 26 Oct, 2023
I don't see a way to export the data log on each form like it is on CF7. Before I would click on the data and then I could export all data information into CSV file.

Also, in CF7 it would make it's own database per log data from the form. In CF8 do I need to create a new database through PHPmyadmin per my data source? Under the "Submit" adding "Save Data" action there's a dropdown for "Table Name" I think I remember way back in CF5 it was structured like this and I would need to make a new table/database. If it could just auto do it like CF7 that would be good.

Appreciate your help and development of Chronoforms, best out there!

Hi remline

You need to create your own table in CF8, it's not easy to guess which fields you need to add to your table so it's better that you do it

You need to export the form log data to a CSV you mean ?

Yes, just as it is on CF7 when you view the log data on the form there is an option to export CSV. That would be great.

I guess CF7 doesn't create a new table per form it throws all the log data into one table and then when I go to the log data per form and export CSV it only exports the data from that form, which is fine.

I will try to add the export CSV to log view in the next update

for creating tables you can use the new ChronoMyAdmin extension
