Form issues after pagination

Hi,

We used pagination in our long form after attending Empower 2015.

We ran into following issues-

1.) After submission, we only see the first page of the form in the preview window. We cannot see the whole form.

2.) After submission, when we download the form, it only has one page of the form. Other pages are not available in the downloaded pdf either.

3.) When the form comes into Repository, it only has one page.

Please let me know how we can get rid of these issues.

Thanks,

Once you have the form completed, copy that form to make a second form just like that one. On the second form get rid of all pagination and use the second form for approval and saving to Laserfiche.

The reasoning for copying is to make sure you have all the fields the same. Once a form is completed and sent the copied form, without pagination, is the one you see.

Dave is correct. If you are using the initial form to send to the repository, then the jQuery you have in place to hide sections for the pagination to work correctly is still being used and will not be shown. So you have to use a duplicate form without the pagination.

How do you copy the data from the paginated form to the non-paginated form?

Never mind I figured it out. You have to create a tasks to save to the repository and use the non-paginated form to save to the repository.

Thanks Dave and Blake.

This resolves the issue with storing it in Repository. :)

But after submission, on the 'Thank You' page, when users download or print or email the form, it is still showing just one page. They are not able to see all the pages of the submitted form.

Is there a way we can resolve this too ?

Thanks.

Not that I know of. There is no way to select which form gets displayed after the form is submitted on the Thank You page.

Hi there,

If you check out the Empower 2015 BPM302 script example, there's a section of javascript reverse the paging effect in View Submission page.

Abby,

Can you post the code here? I do not have access to that site.

Thanks!

What I have done to work around this is to disable the ability to view the form after submitting.

I put in the bottom of the form the ability to print the whole form if they wish, and I also ask for an email address within the form.

On the Thank You page I let them know that a copy will be emailed to them at the address provided.

On the bottom of the form I put a print button:

and under Java Script I put:

// Print Entire Form
$('#printer').click(function() {
$('.sections, .Submit').show();
window.print();
});
// End Print Entire Form

That lets them print the form and then in the Process Modeler I put in a service task to email the second form to the email address provided.
