Question

Confirm email address when saving Laserfiche form for later?

Forms Ideas

I read a few other posts that are similar to this question but I don't think they are the same as our need.

We have a rather large public form that most users will need to save and continue later. When we enable the "Save for later" option (Forms 9.1), the public user can enter an email address and password and then receives an email with a link to get back to the unfinished form. However, if a user mis-types their email address, they will never receive the email with the link and we have no easy way to retrieve the form and re-send them a link.

I saw some code that was posted for another answer that allows entry of a second email address and then compares them but that seemed like it was for an email address that is within the form itself. My question is can this also be done on the "Save for later" email address field that appears at the bottom of the form if the user checks the box?

Thanks in advance and apologies if this question is duplicative.

Thanks for the suggestion, we will consider support the email verification for save as draft in future release as an enhancement.

Thank you Lena... this will be very helpful for us if it can be implemented in the future.

Our executive team has decided not to use Laserfiche Forms for this particular application due to the potential for loosing the form. We will be creating a custom web form even though we loose some capability by not having it in Laserfiche but if/when Laserfiche Forms provides this capability, we will revisit and likely build the form in Laserfiche Forms.

The other important part of this is to have unfinished (forms that have been saved but not submitted) show up in the Results section of the Forms system with a new status of "Not Submitted" or something like that. That way we could assist the form creator in accessing their saved form and be able to see how many forms have been started but not yet submitted. This is an important metric that could help determine the abandon rates.

Again, I know these types of requests or more important for larger, more complex public forms but I think it will go a long way with all types of forms.

Thanks!

This feature has been supported with Forms 11 Update 3:

Public draft options now have the option to request email confirmation from the user via a dialog.
