Creating filter on a form for admins

Hi Im new to kentico and am evaluating it at the moment.

As part of this evaluation im trying to get the following senario to work:

I have setup a form to capture user input, I have an invisible "status" dropdown filed(to standard users filed, default status is "New")

I would like to have a different mission form view of these forms where records are repeated & filtered by status dropdown.
eg "new", "adminReviewed"
This would filter a view of the user forms in a repeating fashion based on a status dropdown.
how would i go about doing this ?

RE:Creating filter on a form for admins

Check out the Dev Guide on Alternate Forms. If you are simply using the CMSDesk to view these inserted records you can simply create a "filter" alternate form and it will display automatically when you have more than 25 records (default that can be changed).

Please see the Automatically used alternative forms topic for more details.

RE:Creating filter on a form for admins

Filters typically come with lists as you can see in the CMSDesk and CMSSiteManager. I've created webparts with this functionality to use on the front end but never found one that has been able to do this out of the box.

I have read about the "Edit contribution" webpart although have never used it. You might try looking at that one.
