    1. Get Quick and Easy Access to Forms, Stats, and More in the Forminator Dashboard<\/h3>\n

    With Forminator installed and activated on your site, navigate to Forminator > Dashboard<\/em> in your WordPress menu for quick, convenient, and easy access to form, quiz, and poll creation, and a quick overview and snapshot of all stats and statuses.<\/p>\n

    The plugin’s dashboard also lets you perform essential functions such as edit, preview, duplicate, copy shortcode, view submissions, export, and delete — all from one place.<\/p>\n

    The top section of the dashboard shows you how many active modules you have on your site and provides a quick breakdown of the total form, poll, and quiz submissions, as well as information on when the last submission took place.<\/p>\n

    The dashboard includes modules for Forms<\/strong>, Quizzes<\/strong>, and Polls<\/strong>. The layout of these modules is essentially the same.<\/p>\n

    For example, here’s the Forms<\/strong> module, where you can create a new form, access existing forms, and quickly check their status (e.g. blue circles indicate the form is published), view stats, and perform other functions.<\/p>\n

    \"Forminator:
    Use the Forms module to create and edit all types of forms for your WordPress site.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Click the Stats<\/strong> icon next to a form to view more information about last form submission, number of views, total number of submissions, and conversion rate.<\/p>\n

    \"Forminator:
    View detailed stats about each of your forms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    You can also perform additional tasks on this screen, such as view reports, edit the form, and apply a range of other bulk and individual form functions by clicking on the gear icon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
