Drag and drop a Set Field command onto the canvas. 5. On the Properties bar, click Select and choose which form field to populate. 6. Choose Formula as the value of the field then click Compose. 7. In the Compose Formula window, click the delete button to delete the default entry. 8. Click the Add Function button. In the list on the right, select the Get External Call Parameter. 9. Click OK to save the changes and close the Compose Formula dialog. 10. Save and close the form. 11. On the Forms Forms Dashboard, in the details area for your form, click Publish to publish your changes. 12. Click the Link button (this button is only enabled if the form is published.) 13. On the Link to Latest Published Version dialog, copy and paste the text from the External Call box into your Web page.
