I'm trying to see forms that I am currently submitting in CommCare via live preview and mobile device. I have the date filter on the Submit History report to today. Is there a reason my forms might not be showing up?
Missing forms from Submit History report in CommCare when the filter is set to “today”

The default settings of your project do not let you split mulitselect questions in case exports. This is because your case does not know which questions correspond with which case properties (because it could be multiple questions).
However, we do have a feature preview that you can enable on your project that will allow you to define how you would like to split your case property in a case export.
You can enable this setting by going to https://www.commcarehq.org/a/your_domain/settings/project/previews/ and checking the "Split multi-selects in case export" option. Then hit Update Previews.
When that is enabled you should see an extra column in your export that will allow you to select the Type. Here you select "multiselect." Then you can add your options. Example below:
This normally requires a Pro Plan to setup for your project. I think your project may have an older version of the Pro Plan and needs to updated to the newest one. Once that's done, Cory's solution will work.

The today date filter for this report on CommCare defaults to Eastern Standard Time. Therefore if you are in a time zone that puts you in a different day than the eastern coast of the United States, the default filter of "today" won't show your form submissions. For instance, if you are submitting forms at 7am in Cape Town and looking for them to show up in your Submit History report filtered to today, you won't see those submissions because the filter for "today" is technically referring to "yesterday" for your timezone.
