Feature Request: Hide Process from Start Screen

Forms Version 9 Ideas

Updated July 18, 2014

asked on July 17, 2014

We have a situation where a Forms user will fill out one form and submit it. That form kicks off a workflow that inserts data into a SQL database and sends the user a link. The link passes information using a querystring to another Form URL. Based on that information a lookup is done to fill out additional information and then they submit the form.

We would like it so that the form that is brought up by the link that is emailed to the user does not show up on the Start screen, but is still accessible by users given permission. The reason being that the second form should only be started after the first form has been submitted and there is an entry in the SQL database for it.

Thanks for the feature request! We'll consider this. Meanwhile, you might be able to add some logic to the second form that performs a lookup rule to see whether the first form was submitted or not and then disables the submit button or hides the form's contents.

You can do something like what is discussed here: https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/47442/Is-there-JavaScript-code-sample-to-get-parameters-passed-through-URL

You just set the submit button to not be there unless you have variables coming in through the URL.

On a side note, I wonder if you can modify the Start page to actually exclude that process when trying to load the page.

While I do feel this feature requested would be helpful, I hope my suggestions are able to help you get around this shortcoming of the current version.
