How to allow clients to exit the form without submitting it

    When I have a client that does not qualify to use the form, how do I create a way for the client to exit the form and close the website? I would prefer to not have to tell client to close their browser window.

    Hi Elfert_Jerry,

    You can use the Show/Hide Field condition so that the submit button will be hidden depending on the option selected. 

    Here's a guide on how I created it:

    1. Click the Conditions button in the Form Builder.

    2. Select the Show / Hide Field condition.

    3. Create a condition wherein if "Choose One" field is equal to "Submit Form" then the "Submit" button will show.

    Hope that helps. If you need anything else, please let us know. We'll be happy to assist you.

    I understand the concept of showing or hiding a field. I know that I can
    hide the submit button.
    My question is how does a person get out of the form without pressing the
    submit button. Do they just close the browser window to get out of the form?
    I am asking if there is a exit form button or widget?
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately, you can't add an exit button on the form. Just like any website, you can exit the form by clicking the X (close button) in the browser window.
