    I am studying this https://www.jotform.com/answers/1514831-Multi-tiered-Approval-Process sample. I just can't figure out how the "Get Page URL" able to use the values; "process", "recommender" and "review" in the CONDITIONS.  I just followed other samples which uses the widget with value "edit", but don't know exactly where to look in the form to change this.

    I am creating this form wherein the requestor will send to the verifier then to approver. Initially, the requestor should not have any Approved/Denied dropdowns. Same logic to use the widget with value as edit.  When submitted, the verifier gets the email and have the verifier Dropdown (with Date and Optional Note) to appear. But I can't get to the approver without showing again these and only approver Dropdown to appear (plus Note to Approver, Date & Optional Note).  Hope someone can help.

    Hello @mycampe! I believe that you've already figured out the process of adding the "Get Form Page URL" widget into your form and also add the conditions based on its value. I also assume that you have cloned the form in question (in the mentioned thread) into your own account: https://form.jotform.com/81852788751976

    Now coming onto your question; please note that the values "process", "recommender" and "review" are coming from the Form URL itself.

    Jotform has a feature in which you can supply values to the from using the GET parameters. You can read more about this feature here: https://www.jotform.com/help/71-Prepopulating-Fields-to-Your-JotForm-via-URL-Parameters

    The actual URL of that form is: https://form.jotform.com/81852788751976

    And the following Edit Submission URLs are being used for our workflow process (see in Notification Emails content):
    1. Request for Review: https://www.jotform.com/edit/{id}?requestFor=review
    2. Request for Recommendation: https://www.jotform.com/edit/{id}?requestFor=recommender
    3. Request for Approval: https://www.jotform.com/edit/{id}?requestFor=process

    You'll find these links in the Email Notifications. Please note that the {id} here maps to the Submission ID (the current submission). These emails are being sent to the Staff Members. There are five Email Notifications set for this form. The first three are related to the workflow and are making use of these custom links.

    I have provided a screencast on how to find these links in th Email Notifications (for your reference) below:

    I hope this answers your query. In case it doesn't or for any further questions, please feel free to ask.

    Thank you!
