LF Form Pre-Submission Summary

asked on November 10, 2023

Hello,

 

I have yet to come across any tips or how-to's regarding creating a summary page in a LF Form, so the submitting user can see and confirm all of their selections before sumbitting the form. 

 

Is this possible?

 

Any help and suggestion and welcomed and appreciated.

I've done "summary" type pages before using Calculations/Formulas and/or JavaScript, but it can get complicated depending on how many fields you have, what types of fields, and what rules you might have to show/hide different content.

The simplest method without using any JavaScript would be to just set up read-only fields that use calculations to display the values of the data entry fields.

 

For example, on one form I have a few multiline fields on the last page set as read-only. I use those as "summary" fields and they are populated via calculations/formulas.

You can add a line break through calculations using CHAR(10) and combine that with the JOIN function for multi-value fields from a table/collection, or a list of specific fields using brackets.

Using a Table column

JOIN(CHAR(10),Table.Column)

Using a list/array of fields

JOIN(CHAR(10),[Field1,Field2,Field3])

 

The formulas can get a bit complicated, but they do provide a lot of flexibility.

How do you see this being different than having the user review the form itself?

The forms is set in sections 5 and has a lot of information/choices. The form itself is a system logon request, so the thought is to allow the submitter to have an overview of selections prior to submitting that would help to eleviate human interaction down the road for any misinformation for selections as the business process and workflows associated with choice will automatically start once the form is submitted.
