    Asked on August 16, 2018 at 2:47 AM

    Hello

    Please refer to the attached document

    Cellphone number: I must add the current number as per my form - but the person can change it as he chooses all the other fields must work the same. Question: how do I add a field with the information beforehand and allow the person to change the details:

    Email adress: This field is the same as above

    Residents and non residents with fingerprint access under.....: i have to add the details of registered person already. they will not be allowed to remove the person, but there must be an option to choose if the person must be removed.

    Daily Access: I must add the days as per my information, but the person can change the information in this field. How do I create such a field / spreadsheet?

    The form must have the following capabilities besides the above

    creating an if option : If the form is unchanged the person must accept the changes and submit

    creating an if option: if there is changes the person chooses this option and will form will then be editable.

    The person must then accept the changes: I can then check the database based on the populated field who filled in what and who submit no changes.

    There must be an declaration of course

    Thank you

    Please help!!!

    1). Cellphone number: I must add the current number as per my form - but the person can change it as he chooses all the other fields must work the same.

    Question: how do I add a field with the information beforehand and allow the person to change the details

    In phone field properties, look for the "Placeholder" to pre filled your phone number into the field.

    To let the users edit the form at a later time, please refer to our guide here https://www.jotform.com/help/40-How-to-Let-Users-Update-Their-Form-Submissions-at-a-Later-Date.

    2). Email address: This field is the same as above

    Residents and non residents with fingerprint access under.....: i have to add the details of registered person already. they will not be allowed to remove the person, but there must be an option to choose if the person must be removed.

    Same goes with the phone number field, look for the placeholder option and input whatever email you want to be pre filled.

    If you don't want them to edit the field, you can set a condition for that to enable or disable a field. I would suggest that you start with our guide here https://www.jotform.com/help/432-A-General-Approach-on-Building-an-Approval-Process-Workflow to get an idea on how the approval workflow works. 

    3). Daily Access: I must add the days as per my information, but the person can change the information in this field. How do I create such a field / spreadsheet?

    The form must have the following capabilities besides the above.

    Would you mind elaborating on this? Or perhaps share some example to further clarify this requirement?

    4). creating an if option : If the form is unchanged the person must accept the changes and submit.

    If option can be done via conditional rule. Please read our guide here https://www.jotform.com/help/57-Smart-Forms-Using-Conditional-Logic.

    5). creating an if option: if there is changes the person chooses this option and will form will then be editable.

    Same with #4, it can be achieve via condition, but I would suggest that you check on the approval workflow guide to get an idea on how it works. Here's the link https://www.jotform.com/help/432-A-General-Approach-on-Building-an-Approval-Process-Workflow.

    6). The person must then accept the changes: I can then check the database based on the populated field who filled in what and who submit no changes.

    Please refer to our guide here https://www.jotform.com/help/432-A-General-Approach-on-Building-an-Approval-Process-Workflow.

    Let us know if you have any questions or if you need further assistance.

    Thank you for the feedbackDoes the changes remain what the person made? For instance they made the changes on the form and email it, lets say for instance they want to go back and make more changes will the form be saved on the previous changes? And saves itHe will then see the current changes and amend it as he chooses, the form will show the last changes....I hope it makes sense

    I still do not get around something.The user that fills in the form.submits itThe form must be saved somewhere for the user to go in and make the necessary changes again. In other words I add the form link to the webpage he goes in makes the changes and submits it. Inreceive the updated form. So if he goes back to that same link on the webpage (the one he completed before) Will this link show the updated information?Or will it show the same infomation, I want to enable the person to submit the changes on that link but can go back where the changes show as amended and update it again. We do this excercise every 4 monthsThey have to verify the info....

    It will show the updated information if you are using the {edit_link} parameter as stated in our guide here https://www.jotform.com/help/432-A-General-Approach-on-Building-an-Approval-Process-Workflow

    I have sent the link for the person to fill in the form, I've added the conditions how do I check wheter the form is now updated?Or where do I check where the updated form is now, with all the conditions added if the person decides to change his number for example where can he locate the updated form? The board wants the form on the website where they are informed to go and update changes or if they choose to at any timeThank you

    This is the response from my boss
    Under fingerprints you have those tick boxes which is already pre-populated as per what is on record that should not be able to be adjusted. (which at the moment you can tick)  If the person wants to make a change it should have another caption underneath to say say UPDATE or EDIT once that is clicked then you can untick or tick additional days , otherwise the no changes caption should be set on default (so you can just view) that way if someone does click on update you will be aware of the changes made. (to be fair the fingerprint is the most important as this is the one that we penalize people for by giving them a fine, if someone's cell number has changed etc etc it is important that you are notified but it does not result in a fine being imposed.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, I am not sure if I still can understand the task in full. But, there is an option to disable the fields (checkboxes) for the case when submission is edited.

    Here are some guides:
