Mini form completion to redirect to correct form

Forms

Updated August 25, 2022

asked on August 24, 2022

Our HR and Finance department currently have two forms for personnel/position requests. Department managers sometimes get them confused and complete the incorrect form.

Is there any way to do the following:

Make a mini form. The form does not have to save anywhere, but when they click submit, based on radio button selection, it will redirect them to the correct form to fill out.

If position type = Replacement (redirect to form a)

If position type = New - Current Budget Year (redirect to form a)

If position type = New - Next Budget Year (redirect to form b)

Just trying to make it easier for the folks that will be submitting the forms.

Hi Tiffany, it would take some JS to create the routing when clicking on the Submit button.

An easier way may be to create Custom HTML fields with each using the following code and each forms URL which will create Buttons for the user to Click that will open the appropriate Form. You can use Field Rules with the HTML fields to display the correct button based on the Radio Button Selection.

<button style="color:white; background-color:green; border-color:gray;width:400px;height:50px;" type="button" class="test" onclick=" window.open('https://FormsServerName/Forms/FormName','_blank')">Button Text</button>

You'll get a button that looks like this. In the HTML you can change the Color or Size easily

You can also add .Submit(hide); to the Forms CSS to hide the Submit button so basically they will just open this form make their selection and then Click the button

Another idea is to have only one form, but depending on that first radio button choice, one or the other grouping of field options comes up. I have done this on quite a few forms. Field rules would control which grouping of fields shows up for them.
