When reviewing completed forms in BuildPass, you may want certain answers to stand out at a glance. You can do this by promoting a form field so it appears as a column in the table view, allowing you to quickly scan and compare responses.
What Does “Show in Table” Do?
The Show in Table option allows you to take a question from a form and display its answer as a column wherever responses to that form are shown in a table.
This is useful for highlighting important details such as:
Incident type (for example, near miss)
Risk level
Outcome or status
Any key classification or identifier
How to Highlight a Form Field in the Table View
Step 1: Edit the Form Template
From the form view, click Edit Template.
Locate the question you want to display in the table.
Step 2: Enable “Show in Table”
Scroll down within the question settings.
Enable the Show in Table option.
Click Save to update the form template.
Step 3: View the Updated Table
Return to the form or checklist list view.
The selected question will now appear as a column in the table.
All responses to that form will display the answer for this field.
Important Notes
Any question in a form can be promoted to appear in the table.
The table view will update automatically once the template is saved.
This applies to all responses for that form, past and future.
When to Use This Feature
Use Show in Table when you want to:
Quickly identify trends or classifications
Scan large numbers of form responses
Highlight critical information without opening each form individually
