Download a Report of Form Responses
Step 1: Go to the Forms tab and click on the form name for which you want to download responses.

Step 2: Click "..." > "Download Form Responses"

Step 3: You will see a banner indicating that your download (CSV file) is being prepared.

Step 4: Click on the "Generated Reports" folder within your Documents platform, and you'll be able to download this report.
Considerations and best practices
Within the downloaded CSV file:
- Each form field should be represented as its own column, starting in Column B
- All fields that ever existed in the form (across all clients & versions of the form) will appear across the columns. If you make edits to your form, old responses will still appear.
- Questions will appear in Row 1
- Each form response by a client will be represented as its own row, and the client's name will appear in Column A
- Column B will show the date that the client completed the form response
- "Signed" will appear if the client added a signature
- Some field types will not be included in the CSV: read_only, labels, videos, documents (attachments), and folders
- At this time, it is not possible for questions in the "matrix" question type to be added to this pull, due to the complexity of question type. We recommend pulling these responses out individually.
- There is a column for Client Group
Note: Matrix field responses by you or your clients are not easily readable if you download a CSV report of Intake forms, Charting templates or Program forms. If you will regularly need to download form responses into a CSV file for your business use, we recommend NOT using the Matrix field type.
