  1. Login to your website. /login

  2. Navigate to Dashboard > Reports > Form Results

  1. Choose the “Form” submissions.

  1. Click on the “Advanced” link to pop out the advanced search options.

  2. Choose the “Customize Results” tab.

  3. Under standard properties, check the “Author” box and additional information you want to be displayed on your report.

  4. Click “Search” to display the results.

  1. Click “Export to CSV” - This will automatically export every submission from the form.

Other advanced search settings include:

Column order: You can drag and drop to change column order. Sort By: By sorting on this field, you can control the order of the rows. Number of Results: Allows more submissions to display. Search Presets: Allows you to save your search settings for future use.

Controlling Google Tag Manager Tags Based on Concrete CMS Edit Toolbar Visibility
Aug 13, 2024

This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to control the firing of Google Tag Manager (GTM) tags based on the visibility of the Concrete CMS edit toolbar. It explains how to create a custom JavaScript variable in GTM to detect whether the edit toolbar is present on a page and how to set up a trigger that ensures GTM tags only fire when the toolbar is not visible. This setup is particularly useful for developers and marketers who want to ensure that tracking and analytics tags are not activated during content editing sessions, thereby preserving the accuracy of data collected.
