    Hello,

    I am trying to extract data from our rental form in certain fields. Is there a reporting option available? The PDF forms are saved/sent to an email and I am looking to compile some data from the forms.


    Thanks in advance,

    Eric

    Hi Eric,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you're trying to only extract data on certain form field, unfortunately that is not possible. You may consider taking advantage of Jotform Report Builder feature, you can easily generate visual reports that are based on your submission data. Let me show you how:

    1. On your My Forms page, select the form that you want to create a report for.

    2. Click on Reports at the top of the page, and then click on Add New Report.

    3. Now, select Visual Report Builder, which will open Report Builder.

    4. Enter a Report name and choose a Report Type.

    5. Then, click on Create and that’s it. You’re done.

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
