Back Office Tips!

Updated over a week ago

Today, let's take a step further and use the advanced features available in the back office. Did you know that it was possible to search the fields that have not been filled out in a form by looking the History tab (Data Menu)? Also, if you mistakenly deleted a form, it is still possible to get it back!

Adding a filter in the Search bar in the History page of the back office.

In order to search a set of words, we are going to use a classic technique used by all computer specialists (don't worry then if it doesn't ring a bell to you). This technique is called the regular expressions (also called Regex). It will help us do a more accurate search. For instance, the character ^ means the beginning of the search and the character $ means the end, so by typing ^$ (without nothing written in between), you will be searching for an empty expression. Therefore, when you will type ^$ in the top bar of a field (like shown in the screen below), you will find the fields that haven't been fill out.

Regex search in history

By typing the following expression: ^r.*@kizeo.com$ you allow you to search for expressions beginning by the "r" letter and ending with "@kizeo.com". Like shown in the screen below, the field containing the e-mail address ramamurthy@kizeo.com will appear:

^<a href="mailto:k.@kizeo.com-example-regex-search-2048x990" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">k.@kizeo.com-example-regex-search-2048x990</a>

By typing the expression ^((?!@kizeo.com).)*$ you will find the fields that doesn't contain "@kizeo.com":

^@kizeo.com_.-example-regex-search-2048x557

How to get a deleted form back

This one is very simple! You just need to click Kizeo Forms Settings tab -> Tools. Click the Display deleted forms button to display the list of the forms that you have previously deleted.
