Save the form and Resume Later

Hi Everyone,

I need help urgently.

I have a Form which is very long and I need to save that form.So if a particular user is logging into my website after few days,I should be able to save his data and prepopulate the fields which are already filled and once he completes entire form he will click submit button.

Please can anyone reply me about how I should provide this feature in my Website?

Thanks in advance and looking forward to your replies.

Regards,
Anup

Hi Anup,

First I recommend that you split any very long form into separate pages if you possibly can. It's much easier for the user than a single long form.

You need to use a DB Save action to save the data and to have some way to link the user to the saved data when they return. What that is will depend on your site and form.

When they return you can retrieve saved data with a DB Record Loader action using the record identifier that you set up.

Thanks Bob.


Yes,I agree that form must be Split into different pages but I am stuck with some critical issue which as follows.

How do I create a Button with Save Event?In the Form Wizard there is only one event of OnSubmit but if the User wants to click Save button so that he can fill the form later, I want to have a DB Save event on that button.Is it by any chance possible to do that?

Thanks for your time and I am eagerly waiting to know how its possible.

Anup,

You can add more than one Submit event as long as they have different names. Then at the end of the On Submit_1 use a Show Form action to go to the next On Load event. Or perhaps better, use separate forms for each page.

Hello, It would be great to provide users with the option to save a form and return to complete. See this Forum Topic for what I would like to see http://www.rsjoomla.com/forum/37-rsform-pro/14952-save-and-complete-later.html#20298 (See response from renekreijveld) Thanks!
