Entries not displaying?
To showcase entries on the 'View,' it is imperative to navigate to the form entries section and approve them. Entries are categorized into three statuses: Approved, Disapproved, and Pending. This system provides you, as the pool administrator, with an opportunity to review entries before they become visible to the entire membership. This feature proves particularly useful when dealing with entries that require prior review.
By default, all entries are initially marked as pending on the form. To transition an entry to the approved status, simply click the 'yellow' pending icon. Once this action is completed, the entries will become visible on the designated view.
Advanced Feature
Gravity View offers an advanced feature that allows entries to be displayed automatically. To enable this option, access the Gravity View you are currently working on and scroll to the bottom of the page. Ensure that you are in the 'View Settings' section. Here, disable the "Show only approved entries" option, granting entries the ability to be displayed without manual approval.
