Creating Jodoo Forms from Jotform


Apart from creating a form from scratch, Jodoo also supports creating a form by uploading Excel files directly downloaded from Jotform. Though Jotform's data export feature, you can seamlessly transit your form submissions into an Excel file format, which is compatible with Jodoo for advanced data management.

This integration is particularly beneficial when working with large and extensive datasets, enabling you to leverage Jodoo's powerful capabilities to organize and analyze your data with ease. See how Jodoo compares with Jotform.

Now, it's time to follow our step-by-step guide to migrate your form entries to Jodoo via an Excel file.

How to Create a Form from Jotform

In this article, we use the Employee Information form as an example.

Step 1 Exporting your Jotform Data to Excel

Navigate to Jotform Tables and click on Download All in the upper-right corner. Then choose Download as Excel from the dropdown menu. You'll also find alternative download options within the tab menu. The download will commence automatically once prepared, which may vary in time based on your data volume.

Step 2 Creating a Form in Jodoo

Log in to your Jodoo account and navigate to the app where you want to create the form. Click , and then click New Form > Create from Excel.

Step 3 Setting the Header

After uploading an Excel file and choosing a sheet, select a row to be the header, which becomes field titles upon import. You should better place the header in the first row for automatic recognition and importing.

Step 4 Setting the Form & Field Information

Set Form Name, Form Grouping, Field Name, and Field Type. The selection of field types is crucial as it affects the availability of advanced features such as formula, data linkage, and data association. For details, see Field.

Note:

When you create a form by importing an Excel file, the default name of the form remains the name of the Excel file. If the form name exceeds 100 characters, it cannot be imported directly. You need to reduce the excess characters to import the form successfully.

Step 5 Completing the Import

After you have set the header and field types, the system will generate the form automatically. Data in Excel will also be imported into the form directly. You can view these data on the Manage Data page.

Congratulations! Now, you've already created a form by uploading Excel files directly downloaded from Jotform. You can try it for yourself!
