Save and continue forms with read only date

Hi,

I have a save and continue employee information form that we are using for time capture (payroll).

In the first section of the form i have the following

Employee Name (required field) - we'd like to be able to make this stream line and it remember the employee each time / saving the hassle of filling in this field each time.

Date (required field) - but read only

WO/ Client Name (required field) - this is just a text box that employee completes as information changes several times a day when the attend each individual job

Clock in time (required field) - this is read only.

This is all working fine - however if we can streamline employee name field that would be better.

Submit

On the completion of the job, they are required to open the form again.

We then have a clock out field here (required field) but I would like this to be unique and not alter the clock in field that was saved at the start of the job.

Is there a way this can happen?

On which form are you working on? I inspected several of your forms that were recently edited, but Save Form and continue later feature is not enabled in any of them. 

If the same user will be submitting the form multiple times, you can prepopulate the name field so, the user does not have to fill it each time. The form can be prepopulated with the following app - https://prepopulate.jotform.io/

If I understood your second question correctly, you want to disable the Time field when a submission is edited. This can be achieved with conditional logic. 

How to Enable/Disable Fields Using Conditional Logic

You will also need to add the Get Form Page URL widget to your form and set the condition to disable the Time field if the Get Form Page URL widget contains the value edit. 

Here is a demo form - https://form.jotform.com/82531101830948 

Feel free to test it and clone it. 

Thanks so much for your response

Ideally I would like this form https://form.jotform.co/82530269972868

To have the employees start time entered

Then I would like that time to be pre populated into this form https://form.jotform.co/82530258972866

But once it is pre populated across I’d like it to be read only so they can’t alter it.

Is this possible?  I think the form is nearly at the point we can share with our employees.

If you want to pass the data from one form to another, please check this guide:

How to Automatically Pass Form Data to Another Form

To prevent users to change the data that is passed to the second form, set the field to be Read-only inside of the field settings.
