How do I perform summary reporting/analytics on my data?

Our current platform focus is on empowering you to build robust worker-facing applications for data capture and information access.

On the reporting side, we offer strong capabilities for generating Word, Excel, and PDF output reports of individual Form entries and other data.

For analytics and/or summary reporting, our current approach is to provide easy Connectors into great third-party reporting services.
We may provide some analytics features within our platform in the future, but for now our Connectors will enable you to enjoy a first-class analytics and dashboard experience on dedicated services like PowerBI, Klipfolio and others.

Aside from Connectors to reporting services, customers can also use tools like Google’s Data Studio to create their own reporting from Google Spreadsheets.

Simply hooking up a Google Sheets connector to populate a Sheet from our system would provide the necessary data to do interesting things in Data Studio.

Similarly, if the client has a SQL Server or BigQuery database, then our respective database Connectors are a great way to populate the Form entry data across for them to run their own reporting tools upon.
