Multiple form progression process?

asked on June 10, 2015

We have a very large public form that has many field rules. Because of this, the performance is getting slower and slower to the point it is barley useable. I am considering options and one that I would like to test is to break the form into separate forms based on the different sections. The form is a finance application and has sections for: Applicant Info, Employment Info, Finance Info, Financial Income Info, Disclousers and Signatures.

I would like to have a separate form for each of these sections and have a button at the bottom of the first form that progresses to the next form and so on for each form section. Something like a "Save and Next" button that then loads the next form in sequence.

I am not sure how to go about this in Forms. I created a process and then created the separate forms for each section but how do I get the next form to load after the user clicks the button at the bottom of the first form?

I should also add that the users submitting the forms are public users so are not named participants. They are listed as "anonymous" users when the form is submitted.

I am sure I am overlooking something easy to get this to work but have not been able to get it working in the tests I have tried thus far.

 

Thanks,

Eric

Thanks Blake.

I guess I am back to figuring out some other way to get the performance to a useable state on the existing form. It currently takes about 30-35 seconds for the form to load. Even using the Form Designer is painful. There are large delays when trying to add or move a field around. We are worried about a high abandon rate when public users are trying to load the form and after several seconds of waiting, they just leave or keep hitting the load or refresh button.

What you are asking for is currently not possible out of the box. I'm not even sure if it's possible with custom coding currently. You are able to add tabs to your form and put specific fields within those tabs, but they are all still loaded together on the initial loading of the form, so that would not help your situation.

I know in a future version there has been talk about being able to kick forms off from other forms using Workflow.

Anyword on this issue? I have a huge application as well. I want to have an acknowledgement form first than the actual App, and then some signature forms. The form I have right now is so long and has a ton of special coding its hard to keep up with everything and beginning to get messy and slow.

I thought multi-page form was part of 10.2?

It is in 10.2. We just upgraded a few weeks ago.

Were you able to create the multiple page form after the upgrade in 2017?
