Creating a public report or chart based on your feedback form data

Some users want to make the data accumulated in their feedback form public. They either want to send people a link to their report/chart, or embed it in their web site for all to see.
Using the form builder you can externalize your feedback form data, in a similar way you externalize your form. Whether it be the result table or a chart it is possible to make them public.

Steps to share you public report or chart:

1- Enter the form builder “data management” report

2- Get the data you wish to make public ready:
if you want to show all the data make sure that you choose the “*” option in the “rows in page” list box (situated on the bottom of the 'filter' window) – this will show all results in 1 page.
If you want to show only a part of the data use the filter to slice it before you save the report/chart.

3- once the data in the result table/chart is ready press on “save” in the 'report & chart' section of the upper toolbar.

4- Give your saved filter/chart a name. Be sure to turn on the “share” checkbox since you cannot make the data/chart public without it. Turn on the “create shortcut” checkbox as well – this will create a direct shortcut to this filter/chart from the data center.

5- Press on “share”. (also situated in the 'report & chart' section of the upper toolbar). If you wish to send someone a link to your data/chart simply copy the “share url”.
If you wish to embed the data/chart in your website simply enter the width and height of the iframe and copy the generated code in the “iframe url”.
