Forms

asked on June 30, 2014

We have a client who would like to be able to pre-populate certain fields in their form using a WebService. They are not able to utilize SQL DB lookup due to security.

The basic scenario is that users start a form from a web portal that already knows their name etc. we then want the form to automatically fill out their name address etc using a WebService that they will have running.

Would we be able to perform this lookup using JQuery in the javascript of the form? Can we reference external script references such as JQuery UI?

Thank You

If you can communicate with the web service with JavaScript, it should be possible. If the user information is not in Forms, it might be more difficult to accomplish. You can load external scripts if you like. See this section of the help for more information.
