Thank You page enhancements

posted on April 5, 2019 Show version history

Just posting for a general improvement idea for the Thank You page.  Any chance we could have the eventual option of having an activity before the Thank You page?

We have a permit submitter process that needs to generate a unique number.  No problem, on form submit, run a workflow to generate the number using various ODBC lookups.

Problem is, the Thank You page happens before the workflow and you cannot pass variables back to the Form before the Thank You.  So the Thank You page does not show that permit number and neither does the document when you click Download.

We thought the email with the permit would be enough but now we are needing add SQL stored procedures, javascript that hides the 'real' submit button, and a very large amount of work to have the permit number on the download form.

Anyway, just a suggestion of being able to run a workflow after submit but before Thank you and allow the Workflow to pass variables back to the form (even though it is a public facing form).

 

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for the feature request. I've added it to our feature request backlog for review.

If you have to have it in the thank you page, you can get the number using a stored procedure in a lookup rule, have it load into a hidden field, but make sure that it does keep the data if hidden.

Must admit I like having the workflow better as it does keep others from modifying it.

Yeah, we have certainly approached those ideas.  However, if two people have the form open they both would get the same number.  Or if someone refreshes before submitting they get the next one and their could be gaps.  Lots of options I suppose and we have a workaround of course but it is certainly involved.

In most cases would rather gaps then assigning two with the same one, so I would reserve the record first and then get the assigned ID to return.

Still it is not the most ideal situation as it would allow the user to change the number manually and could easily have gaps.

Must admit though I would really prefer the workflow in between as it would be cleaner, more secure, and prevent gaps.
