Preview before submission?

All Topics → → Preview before submission?

Hello – is it possible for a user to view what they filled out before hitting submit?

If so would it be straightforward or would I have to enter all of the parameters one by one? (The form I’m working on will have 100+ sizes).

 

Thank you!

Hi Steve -- it's a presale question. I thought I would have to log in for support.

 

Thanks

This can be done by placing an HTML field type on a second page of your form, then by inserting the field ID's of each of your fields into the HTML field (The easiest way to do this is to compose your review page in the email message box because there is a drop-down menu above this email message box that allows you to add your fields more easily).

That way, when the user clicks on the button on the first page, they are taken to your second "review" page, and the button on this page would submit the form. The problem with this implementation is that there won't be a "back" button and they would need to use their browser's back button to return and make changes.

This process is going to be improved dramatically in a future release, but for now this is the best option for Pre-submission review. If you want them to review after post submission, you can create a "confirmation" page. http://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/form-confirmation-page/

Thanks Steve. So, for example, if I have a conditional selection (or whatever it's called) dropdown with various sub-selections, would I have to insert each of the field IDs for the subselections, or just the main one?  (In other words, if a selection is called 'shape,' could I just add the ID for shape, or would I have to add each ID (round, square, etc.)?

You would only need to add the ID of the field or "shape". Then it automatically displays the option that was selected by the person submitting the form.

Thanks Steve. Sold!
