Announcing GravityView 2.24: Select different View types for multiple and single entries!

We’re excited to announce the release of GravityView 2.24 which introduces the ability to use different View types for the Multiple Entries and Single Entry layouts. As one of our most highly requested features, we’re proud to bring this functionality to all current and future GravityView users!

This exciting release also includes a brand new “Read Status” field in the View editor, and several important fixes. Let’s dive in.

Select different View types for Multiple Entries and Single Entry layouts

GravityView includes several View types, enabling you to display data using different layouts. Different View types are useful for different applications, but sometimes you may want to mix and match them. For example, many users want to display multiple entries in a table, while preferring to use the List type for individual entries, such as user profiles or directory listings.

This is now possible! Instead of needing to use a single View type for both the Multiple Entries and Single Entry layouts, you can now use separate View types for each layout. This gives you more flexibility when creating and designing Views, and even more control over how your data is displayed on the front end!

At the top right of the View editor, you’ll now see a new “View type switcher” dropdown. This new dropdown is visible on both the Multiple Entries Layout and Single Entry Layout.

Expanding the dropdown enables you to select a new View type for the current layout. If a particular View type hasn’t been installed, you can install it directly from the dropdown without any interruptions to your workflow!

This powerful new feature improves usability, and eliminates the need for custom styling or complicated workarounds when needing more control over your front-end displays.

In the below video, Casey and Zack demo the new View type switcher and show you some fun examples of how it improves the View creation process (this clip was taken from our recent GravityKit Live).

As the year of GravityView unfolds, we’re thrilled to check off another major feature on our list!

New in the View editor: “Read Status” field

We’ve added a new field to the GravityView editor called “Read Status”. This field indicates whether an entry has been viewed in the Gravity Forms backend.

In the field settings you’re able to update the values that are displayed depending on the entry’s read status. The default values are “Read” and “Unread”.

This is a powerful field with many potential use-cases. For example, if you use Gravity Forms to collect job applications, you can use this field to keep track of which applications your team has reviewed and which ones are still pending.
