forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:37:20 GMT

Someone in the forum had asked if a certain question is asked in forms and the answer is "yes" could it prompt a new set of questions. Mine is similar, in that I am looking for the answer to affect the content throughout the form.

When someone types in their name and company name at the top of the form, can the form recall that information to pull that into fields later? So if someone says they work for "ABC Corp," could one of my questions change from "How long have you worked for your company?" to "How long have you worked for ABC Corp?" Is there any way to implement this?

Removing Empty Fields from Summary

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 22:35:05 GMT

Hello,

I am primarily using FormsCentral to accept Background Applications from potential clients as well as accept expense reimbursements from current clients.

In both of these forms, there are many questions which are hidden or shown based on how the applicant answered previous questions. IE, only when a client answered in the affirmative to "Do you have any travel expenses for reimbursement?" would a travel question appear to ask about the details of such a reimbursement .

Unfortunately, when the forms are submitted, we recieve a confirmation via email containing ALL questions in the orignal form, even when they were hidden for the client, or unanswered. I noticed that you can elect to have empty responsed removed for the confirmation email sent to the client after they submit a filled form, but no such option is available on the design / received side

Worse, we elected to use Adobe Formscentral because we really liked how polished they looked, and also liked the fact that we could download a PDF version of the answered questionairre that was presentable to our clients (like when presenting a close of account folder which would contain all of their submitted expenses). unfortunately the downloaded PDF version of our responses also include all of the blank and hidden fields regardless of whether they were filled out or even shown to the client. Becuase PDF's are difficult to manage after creation, there is no simple way to remove empty questions or hidden response fields from either the summary emails we receive or the PDF we can download.

We have extensive applications that we intended on being able to download to present to potential clients to skip the step of having to have somone enter them again into a polished looking form where unanswered or hidden questions do not get included. Our forms are such that we could have 3 pages of answered and applicable questions on a PDF form that totals 18 pages. Theirfor we would have to cycle through 18 pages to get the three pages of total information we need, at the same time making it completely unpresentable to a client.

There is an option to remove unanwered fields to the confirmation email sent to our clients when they submit a form, but we, the form creater don't appear to have the same option?

This seems like a relatively easy fix that is preventing a great many people from using the FormsCentral Product this way. Please let me know if there is anything I am overlooking, workaround wise, or if there is any idea as to when these features will become available. I really like FormsCentral otherwise, and would hate to have to jump ship because of what seems like a minor feature upgrade.

Thanks!

Processing survey data automatically

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 11:55:48 GMT

I am running a few surveys with FORMs. What I need to do is to be able to run code on the respondent's information as soon as they submit the form. I'm not sure the form data is accessible in this way.

I can see that it can be exported to excel, but I'd like to have this process automated. If the data cannot be accessed raw and on the fly, it will need to be exported automatically to another database that allows this.

Any information you can provide will be helfpful.
