 * hy,
    thank you for your plugin – the first i found which stores data well organized
   and saves files as well 🙂
 * one thing came into my mind: it would be great to select fields which are shown
   in the admin overview. i have another addon which allows to show/hide fields 
   depending on certain values and these options are stored in the first fields 
   of the form. therefore, they are shown in the admin table of your plugin. (screenshot:

 * if you could release it just as a filter in the first version it would be also
   great, no need for fancy UI 😉
 * matt

 * Thanks for your opinion..
    The plugin will get complex, If I add this type of
   filter.

 * hy,
 * so you do not like the option? as it would only be an addon for developers, i
   guess it would not make it more complex for the typical user.
    but it is your
   choice of course 😉

 * This is a must have in my opinion. For instance, when the form has a checkbox
   for a newsletter registration, having it on the main admin table as a column 
   is much easier than clicking on each entry to check it. Espacially when the CSV
   export of unchecked boxes is not consistent (they contain weired content on my
   website).

 * I second that, it’s a little strange that you can’t see all of your forms’ data.
   I understand not creating the added functionality of filtering the data, but 
   at least seeing it would be more clear. Otherwise, you’d have to constantly export
   your DB to make sure it’s capturing everything.
 * I’m also experiencing inconsistencies with the checkboxes, it’s mixing up the
   data across the last 4 columns when I export a csv.

 * +1 from me.
    I’d like an option to choose which columns to see in admin and also
   choose the columns titles myself.
 * Reason:
    we have some really complex forms, thus this plugin unfortunately displays
   only those columns that are of absolutely no use to the regular user..
 * Thanks for a nice and free plugin!

 * Hello everyone,
 * I also support this option, in my example, I do not need the subject field at
   all, why do I have to keep it there as a blank one. It is better to choose required
   fields on the list and also to be able to choose names in the exported CSV.
 * [@arshidkv12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arshidkv12/), of course it 
   is your decision, but an addition would be appreciated.
 * [@matthiaswagner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthiaswagner/), could
   you share the filtering plugin you mentioned?

 * [@solutionsdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solutionsdev/), this is the
   plugin for conditional fields: [https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
 * no filter so far, i just meant that the requested functionality must not have
   a UI but could also be implemented as a wordpress filter.
