Summary Layout

The summary layout provides a dashboard-style overview of a submission.

The summary layout provides a dashboard-style overview of a submission, addressing four major needs.

• The need to display a summary of your submission on a single page. Ideal for longer forms.
• The need to display fields from child submissions without having to enter the child submission itself.
• The need to access, from a child submission, the parent submission that refers to it.
• The need to display metadata for your submission (creation date, user who created it, etc.)

This page covers the summary layout as your users experience it. To build one for a form, read Summary Layout in the Build section.

Use the summary layout

When a form has an active summary layout, opening a submission from that form will open the summary, as you have configured it.

To navigate to the standard view, a "View Details" button allows you to switch to the standard layout. The "Edit" button also navigates to the standard layout, but in "Edit" mode.

In relationship fields, clicking on the relation will open the submission in a new browser tab. If the related form also has a configured summary, this will open by default.

The summary layout is also available for mobile devices, and looks like this:

Limitations

• The summary layout does not allow editing of the submission. It is a read-only view.
