Provide a link in a form, through notes field
Requirement
Open a link containing instructions required to fill a form.
Use Case
For any customer to use an application, registration is the first step. A
registration
form has some general instructions for filling the form. It would be best if they are kept separate from the main form itself, allowing more clarity to the users. A notes field can show the list of instructions in an external link, using HTML.
Steps to follow
1. Create the Registration form
with the following details, marking them:
|

Form Link Name
|

2. Duplicate the
Instructions
form to
create a stateless form. Rename it as 'Instructions to fill form'. Remove all the buttons from the form.
4. Insert the below code to display the instructions link as a button for ease of access.
- <u>
- <a style="font-size: 1.5rem; padding: 1.2rem; color: rgb(26, 188, 156." rel="noopener noreferrer" href="#Form:Instructions_to_fill_form" target="_blank">
- Please read the instructions before filling the form.
- </a
- </u>
See how it works
Points to note
-
This linking can also be done using the openURL task. The instructions can be stored in a separate form, named Instructions. A workflow can be created to load this form on load of the Registration form
Insert the below code in the Deluge editor to open the instructions as a popup:
- openUrl("#Form:Instructions_to_fill_form","popup window","height=400px,width=400px".;
