At each step in the process, the person whose turn it is to approve/reject the proposal can add comments, accept/reject the document, and submit an attachment of an updated document (i.e. fix errors, add corrections, etc.). I want to be able to create a single link to the most recent version of the document on a page.

In a recent project, I found that migrating the form from one environment caused many (but not all) of the connection behaviors to break, requiring me to open the form and point each connect behavior to the correct connection/action. This also required me to re-map each connection parameter to the form fields.</p> <p>Is there a way to synchronize connections across multiple environments to prevent this from happening?</p> <p>So far as I could tell, this is what had happened:</p> <p>1: In an earlier project, a connection and actions were created on the development server and migrated to the production server.</p> <p>2: A new form project required new actions on the existing connections. Those actions were created on the development system and the production system separately (they were not migrated from the development system to the production system). </p> <p>3: When the new form was migrated from one environment to the other, the behaviors mapped to actions that were originally migrated in the earlier project stayed intact, and behaviors mapped to actions that were recreated on the new environment broke.</p> <p>This leads me to believe that each connection and/or action object has a hidden unique identifier which is preserved when a connection is migrated. If that is the case, is there a way to ensure that those unique identifiers are identical across environments without deleting and re-migrating connections? </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/form-visibility-access#post-1496 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 17:41:33 +0000 TWenzel 1496@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>We have basic users who we would like to access a "Main Menu" form which launches into additional forms from there. The forms they are accessing are not child forms of the "Main Menu" form. Is it possible to "hide" all the launched forms from the user forms list, while still allowing the forms to be accessed from the "Main Menu" form? </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/record-conversation#post-1324 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:24:27 +0000 seraph 1324@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Hello,<br /> As typcially seen in help desk solution, the correspondences around the ticket are entered and viewed within the ticket for historical tracking. Can this type of interaction be created in perfectforms. For example, i create a request, then the tech asks a question, i answer, tech asks another q, i answer...etc. All of the q - a would be viewed in the form for this ticket along with who and the time of the entry. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/new-field-added-to-form-affect-on-prev-form-instances#post-1054 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:12:42 +0000 Peanuts890 1054@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I need to add a new field to an existing form to provide management analysis in a report.

I have buttons to navigate back to a previous page, but if I happen to be on the second page of a form and hit the back button in Internet Explorer, I'm taken to the page I was at before I even started the form.</p> <p>This is not uncommon with many web applications. The usual browser navigation buttons are 'external' to the form itself and will do this.<br /> Other users in the past have covered this by adding in an explanation to the first page of their forms to point out to users to navigate form pages using the controls on the form.</p> <p>Where you have already used the 'page button' to 'go to next page' as I'm sure you have, also add a page button set to 'go to previous page' for users to go back to other pages.</p> <p>If over all your forms you use a similar 'layout' where perhaps your 'go back' buttons are always in a similar location (the bottom left of a page is the common location) all your users will easily follow this for all other forms as well.</p> <p>Also though, you could present a special link to your users to access the form. </p> <p>You could for instance present the link to the form within an HTML link where you can supress the usual browser navigation buttons..<br /> something like:<br /> <a href="#">Fill in our form</a></p> <p>but of course set the width/height to your form dimensions </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/export-form-data-to-postgresql#post-219 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:17:48 +0000 ss 219@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is it possible to export data retrieved from form to PostgreSQL database.</p> <p>Thanks in advance </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/can-you-embed-a-form-to-our-own-website-or-only-link-to-the-perfectform-form#post-147 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:29:02 +0000 ijobling 147@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>You can embed your forms to your website.</p> <p>When you have published the form, click on the LINK button you see and there you’ll see a range of options.
