Saving Data as you enter it

ProgrammerJen 05 Sep, 2012
Ok, so I've managed to create a pretty cool tabbed complex form for my client using chronoform. All is working beautifully and personally I feel it's ideal for what the client needs, but now the client feels he needs more...ugh!
So the client is concerned because it is a long form with multiple tabs, and videos on each tab...his concern is that if someone leaves the form they have to start at the beginning again when they return to the form. So, my question is, is it even possible to save the data entered into the form as it is entered so that someone leaving the form could return later (they are required to be logged in) and start where they left off and not at the beginning again?

Thanks!

Hi,

This will be tricky, you need to set a periodic AJAX request, I didn't do it before myself.

You can suggest to enable the session keep alive, so in case they spend long time on the form, the session will not time out, this is available in the "Show html" settings.
