Chris

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I currently use Gravity Forms for my entries, then I use Gravity View to show the data. The data can be shown in datatables (grid) and the user can edit the entries. Is there a way to show entries or a post type in a grid? (Looks like an Exel spreadsheet). Here is the example: hidden link

I'd like to create a CRED form and then have that input create a record for the custom post type. Then have that listing page with all the entries.

I also want to be able to show the entries based on filters (including the user and/or their role).

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not at this time.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support.

1. Yes, you can show the entries or a post type in a grid by using the Views plugin.
Please go to Toolset >> Views >> Add new View >> Select Custom Post type >> Scroll to the Loop Output editor, and click on the Loop Wizard button. You can select from one of the six pre-defined output formats. See attached screenshot.

For more details see the documentation here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/view-layouts-101/

2. I also want to be able to show the entries based on filters (including the user and/or their role).
>> Go to View >> Query Filter >> User filters >> Specific users -- see attached screenshot.

Thank you
