Hi there,  
we are thingking of using gravity forms for users to select thier lunches from a predefined list of items each day (checkbox when ticked show a number field for quantity. once they complete the form a copy is sent via email, so far so good.

what we then want is either each day at a set time is a total of each item that has been selected from all users who submitted a lunch form. if we can send it at a set time then how could we create a page that displays all this information for us?

thanks

You could use GravityView to create a page to display all the information for you. They have a math extension, which could be used to total up the frequency of each item.

GravityView:

> **[GravityView: Display Gravity Forms Entries on Your Website](https://gravityview.co/)**
>
> GravityView is the most simple and powerful way to display Gravity Forms entries on your website.

GravityView math extension:

> **[Math by GravityView - GravityView](https://gravityview.co/extensions/math/)**
>
> Do mathematical calculations. Gravity Forms and GravityView powerfully integrated, but not required.

To send that information to you in a report or notification would require custom code. You could use the GFAPI class and functions to total up the information, and send yourself a message.

> **[GFAPI Class - Gravity Forms Documentation](https://docs.gravityforms.com/api-functions/)**
>
> The Gravity Forms API Functions provides developers with a future-proof way to access some of the common core functionality in Gravity Forms.

This would be more of a custom application, and would require familiarity with PHP to accomplish.
