Front-End Entry Display

How to Display Gravity Forms Entries on the Front End

Use this for Multiple Entries, Single Entry, Edit Entry, profiles, directories, and dashboard-style use cases.

Front-End Editing

GravityView includes an Edit Entry area. Permitted users can update existing entries from the front end. Set the editing rules and permissions for the specific workflow.

Send Notifications When GravityView Entries Are Edited

Use this when an edited entry should trigger a Gravity Forms email notification and a saved revision.

For the current product documentation, see GravityKit’s GravityView documentation and its Edit Entry resources.

Filtering and Search

GravityView can make entry lists searchable and filterable. A Search Bar helps visitors find records. The Advanced Filtering extension can limit which entries appear. Filters can use values such as user, role, date, approval status, or form fields.

For a tested GravityWP example, the public submission business directory uses a Search Bar and field filters. For current setup details, see GravityKit’s Advanced Filtering documentation and pre-filtering guide.

Dynamic Population and Personalized Views

GravityView can pass entry values into an embedded Gravity Form. GravityKit documents this setup. It uses merge tags and dynamic-population parameters. Data from a View can then prefill fields in another form.

Official guide: Embed a form for each entry in a View

Use the current GravityKit guide for the supported setup and parameter mapping.

Layouts and Specialized Views

Choose the layout based on how people need to use the data. Multiple Entries works for lists and directories. Single Entry shows one record in detail. Edit Entry handles front-end updates. GravityView Pro also supports additional layout options such as DataTables for table-based displays and front-end exports.

For the core setup sequence, use GravityKit’s Getting Started: Setting up Your First View.

Gravity Flow Workflows

GravityView can act as the front-end dashboard in a Gravity Flow process. This is useful when entries need approvals or status tracking. It also works for assignments and other workflow steps.

How to Create an Event Workshop Registration + Waitlist System

This GravityWP build uses Gravity Forms for registration. Gravity Flow handles capacity and approvals. GravityView provides a front-end dashboard for attendee and workflow information.

How Do You Create a View in GravityView?

Choose the Gravity Form that supplies the data. Then select a layout and add the fields you want to show. Configure the View settings. Finally, embed the View on a page or post.

GravityKit’s current getting-started guide starts with the form and layout. Next, configure Multiple Entries, Single Entry, and Edit Entry. Then review the View settings and publish the View. Use the official guide for the current interface.

What Is the Difference Between GravityView and GravityKit?

GravityView is the plugin for front-end Gravity Forms entry display and management. GravityKit is the company behind it. GravityKit also offers other Gravity Forms tools.

The company once used the GravityView name for both the business and the plugin. That caused confusion. In 2022, the business rebranded as GravityKit. GravityView stayed as the product name.
