How to Export Form Submissions as a CSV File
Overview
Zibster Forms stores the responses submitted through your forms so you can review them from your account. You can also export submissions from a specific form as a CSV file when you need to sort, organize, analyze, or work with the data outside Zibster.
A CSV file is a spreadsheet-compatible file that can be opened in programs such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. This guide walks you through opening your Zibster form submissions and exporting them as a CSV file.
STEP ONE
Log into your Zibster account and click FORMS in the left-side menu.
This opens the Forms Dashboard, where you can manage your forms and review submitted responses.
STEP TWO
Click SUBMISSIONS at the top of the Forms Dashboard.
This opens the submissions area where you can access responses received through your forms. The current calendar year is displayed by default.
STEP THREE
Your current-year form submissions are grouped by category and form name. Click the FORM NAME that contains the submissions you want to export.
This opens the submissions received through that form for the selected year.
FINAL STEP
Click EXPORT to download the submissions for that form as a CSV file.
Your browser will download the CSV file to your device. You can then open the file in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to review and work with the submitted form data.
Additional Options and Helpful Notes
- The SUBMISSIONS area displays the current year by default. To export submissions from a different year, select the appropriate YEAR and click SEARCH before opening the form.
- You can also use the available CATEGORY and MONTH filters to narrow the submissions displayed in your account.
- Exporting submissions does not remove or change the submissions stored in your Zibster account.
- The CSV file is downloaded through your web browser and is typically saved in your device's Downloads folder unless your browser is configured to save downloads somewhere else.
- CSV files are useful for sorting responses, organizing data, creating reports, or working with submission information in other spreadsheet applications.
- If you only need to review a response, you can open an individual submission directly from the form instead of exporting the data.
