Save data and come back later to finish?

ChiefGoFor 12 Oct, 2011
Does ChronoForms have the ability to have a save button to save the data the user has entered, allowing them to come back later to finish the form? I know I can do this through custom scripting, but I was curious if there was functionality like this out of the box.

Thank you.

Hi ChiefGoFor ,

The answer is 'no and yes'. There is no magic function to do this but if you save the data to a database table including some way of identifying the user then you can re-load it later using the DB Load action (in CFv4).

I did something similar using Bob's custom email action

Use DB Save and DB record loader (under the tutorials tab at cf.com)
I have a radio field called "process" that has values of
1 = come back and complete the form
2 = form is complete, send email

In the custom email action, you can set a condition for this field, ie {process}::2
if user chooses 2 for the process field the email is sent.

Very simple and quick once you get your form filled out...
