How to populate the data to the second form

I have finished my two forms and now need to send, post, populate the data entered by a visitor to my second form.

this is the form a customer will use when visiting website.

http://www.jotform.com//?formID=51386206687160 (FORM1)

When the customer presses Submit, form2 should be pre-populated with the answers from form1.

Thank you,

Bill Talero

Hi Bill,

I suggest reviewing this user guide: 

-Prepopulating-fields-to-your-JotForm-via-URL-parameters

To achieve this on your jotform http://www.jotform.us/form/51386206687160

use this code in the custom URL Thank You page of the form

http://www.jotform.us/form/51386186795167?firstName9={firstName}&lastName={lastName}&address={address}&email={email7}&address6={address6}&state={state}&zipCode={zipCode}&phoneNumber[phone]={phone}

Make sure also that Send Post Data method is OFF

You can test submit my demo form http://www.jotformpro.com/form/51405924573961 also.

Example output is like this:

Hope this help. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks.

use this code (in plain text)

http://www.jotform.us/form/51386186795167?firstName9={firstName}&lastName={lastName}&address={address}&email={email7}&address6={address6}&state={state}&zipCode={zipCode}&phoneNumber[phone]={phone}

Thanks.

Thank you,

Do i also have to upload form2 to my website?

Thank you,

Do i also have to upload form2 to my website?

No, when the person fills the data in the first form, he will be redirected to the direct link of the second form.

It does not work. i put the form on my website sleeptestnow.com and then tried to fill it out like a regular customer. You can try it yourself to see if it does the same.

My two forms are

Form1  http://www.jotform.com//?formID=51386206687160

Form2  http://form.jotform.us/form/51386186795167

Hi labman3,

I cloned and checked your form and it shows that the Custom URL for the Thank You page was set as

http://www.jotform.us/form/51386186795167?firstName9=%7BfirstName%7D&lastName=%7BlastName%7D&address=%7Baddress%7D&email=%7Bemail7%7D&address6=%7Baddress6%7D&state=%7Bstate%7D&zipCode=%7BzipCode%7D&phoneNumber%5Bphone%5D=%7Bphone%7D

You have to change this to

http://www.jotform.us/form/51386186795167?firstName={firstName}&lastName={lastName}&address={address}&email={email7}&address6={address6}&state={state}&zipCode={zipCode}&phoneNumber[phone]={phone}

Please ensure that %7B is displayed as { and %7D as }.

Do let us know if it works.

Regards.

I still cannot get my form2 populated. I used the code above and then added more fields to pre-populate. When I complete form1 and press submit, I do get the form2 but all fields are blank.

Please help.

Thank you for your kind assistance.

Bill.

Form1  http://www.jotform.com//?formID=51386206687160

Form2  http://form.jotform.us/form/51386186795167

As of my colleague Jonathan above explained to you, he has elaborated a demo form link :

 http://www.jotformpro.com/form/51405924573961

I went ahead, tested said demo and works, the step two form is populated with fields already filled out, check this out and apply: http://www.jotform.com/help/71-Prepopulating-fields-to-your-JotForm-via-URL-parameters

If any other question please do contact us.

I don't understand. the demo above is for an earlier version of my form. The new version has new fields. So following Jonathan's example, I created the new thank you URL.

http://www.jotform.us/form/51386186795167?First Name={firstName}&Last Name={lastName}&E-mail={email7}Address={address5}&City={city}&State={state}&Zip Code={zipCode11}&Phone={phone}&Date of Birth={dateOf}&Gender=Gender}&1. Do you snore?={Snoring}&2. Is your snoring loud?={SnoreLoud}&3. Have you ever been told that you stop breathing, gasp or cough while you sleep?={Breathing}&4. Male neck or collar size?={MaleNeck}&5.Female neck or collar size?={FemaleNeck}&6. Have you ever been or are you currently being treated for high blood pressure?={HTN}&a) When you are not busy or active?={SleepyBusy}&b) When you are driving or stopped at a light?={SleepyDriving}&This is your Sleep Apnea Score(SAS)={SAS}&Height (ft)={heightft}&Height (inches)={heightinches}&Weight (pounds)={weightpounds}&Your BMI={BMI}&Current Medical Conditions? (if none, type "none")={MedicalConditions}&Current Medications? (if none, type none")={Medications}

Dear Bill Tallero,

It is been long time since May 21st when you first poped this inquiry, as you mentioned above, the new version of the forms has new fields, hence, in order for us to assist you better, I would greatly appreciate your letting us know the link of the two updated forms, so then we will be able to recreate the issue and give you a workable solution.

We shall be waiting your kind news.

Thank you. My forms:

Form1: http://www.jotform.com//?formID=51386206687160

Form2: http://www.jotform.com//?formID=51386186795167

Please follow the following steps:

1. Make sure the Radio Option buttons are not set as 'Read-Only' fields

2. Use this custom Thank You URL for the form http://www.jotform.us/form/51386206687160

http://www.jotform.us/form/51386186795167?firstName={firstName}&lastName={lastName}&email7={email7}&address5={address5}&city={city}&state={state}&zipCode11={zipCode11}&phone={phone}&Gender={Gender}&Snoring={Snoring}&SnoreLoud={SnoreLoud}&Breathing={Breathing}&MaleNeck={MaleNeck}&FemaleNeck={FemaleNeck}&HTN={HTN}&SleepyBusy={SleepyBusy}&SleepyDriving={SleepyDriving}

Here is a test form you can test also http://www.jotformpro.com/form/51466490431959

Let us know if still not able to make it work.

Thanks.

Correction:

use only this URL (plain text)

http://www.jotform.us/form/51386186795167?firstName={firstName}&lastName={lastName}&email7={email7}&address5={address5}&city={city}&state={state}&zipCode11={zipCode11}&phone={phone}&Gender={Gender}&Snoring={Snoring}&SnoreLoud={SnoreLoud}&Breathing={Breathing}&MaleNeck={MaleNeck}&FemaleNeck={FemaleNeck}&HTN={HTN}&SleepyBusy={SleepyBusy}&SleepyDriving={SleepyDriving}

The reason for "read only" option was to prevent anyone from changing any field once it has been populated - is the another way to accomplish this?

Unfortunately, that is a limit on the functionality of the Radio option.

A more sophisticated method to accomplish the same is to use pre-population via Send Post Data method.

Check this user guide: -Send-POST-Data-From-JotForm-Using-PHP-in-Custom-Thank-You-Page

It will require though using PHP server-side setup and a bit of knowledge on PHP.

Hope this help. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks.

I did a bit more search on this..

Since the 2nd form are just being pre-populated anyway, and you do not want them to be editable  anymore, then why not just use regular Textboxes field as the destination field for the Radio options.

You can pre-populate the Textboxes even when they are at Read-Only mode.

Hope this help. Tell us your thought on this.

Thanks.

Thanks Jonathan, that worked perfectly.

Kind Regards,

Bill Talero

Hi Bill,

I think the next question deserve its own thread since it is about a different topic already.

I created a thread for it here http://www.jotform.com/answers/578101
