#  Display Form Submissions on the Front-End

Would you like to let users submit a form and display their submissions in a table on your front end? In this guide, you will learn how to make that happen with the help of the Convert Forms Submissions Menu Type.

## [How to show form submissions on the front end](#menu_item)

Convert Forms Submissions can be displayed on the front end via the Submissions Menu Type available in the Menu Manager in your backend. Go to the Menu Manager, click to create a New Menu Item, and select Convert Forms » Submissions,» as shown in the picture below.

After you save your Menu Item and you access it on the front-end, you will be able to see the default layout, which consists of a table list view and a link to the detailed page of each submission.

## [How to ensure a user sees own submissions only](#own_submissions_only)

You don't want to run into unexpected suprises and learn someday that a user was able to access information submitted by other users. To make sure a user can see own submissions only, set the **Show Submissions From** option to **Logged-in User**.
