GravityView – Multiple Forms Extension

A join connects related entries that share a field value, so each row combines data about the same person or thing from several forms. A union stacks entries from several forms into one list, one row per entry, with no shared field required. Use joins to enrich rows, and unions to combine lists.

Only for joins, which match entries on a shared value like an email address or ID. Unions don’t need any connection between forms: a mapping screen aligns each form’s fields into shared columns.

Yes. With joins, filter conditions can target fields from any joined form. With unions, conditions apply through the primary form’s mapped columns; an added form’s own fields can’t be targeted, because each row is a standalone entry.

Currently, we don’t have an ETA for when the extension will be out of beta. We’re working hard to add additional functionality so that we can officially “launch” the extension, but we can’t commit to a date yet.

Yes. Multiple Forms exposes the Parent Entry ID as a join key, so you can join a Nested Forms child form to its parent and display each child entry as its own row with its fields in separate columns.

Yes. Unions let you display complete entries from different forms in a single View, one row per entry. A mapping screen aligns each form’s fields into shared columns so everything lines up. See Using unions in Multiple Forms to get started.

Definitely not. “Beta” here refers to the fact that certain functionality is missing from the extension, but you can still use it without fear of it harming your website.

Not yet, but we’re working on it!
