Can I insert an external link image in the form?

Hi 

Currently, trialing Jotforms for a project and there are going to be a number of forms that all have the same logo and other assets.

What I am trying to figure is how to set up the forms so I can keep assets co-ordinated across the forms e.g. if the logo changes, all the forms are updated with the new Logo.

I have created a theme, which seems to work but it doesn't seem to be keeping the assets co-ordinated.

Is this possible? Or is it once a form is created, each element must be manually maintained for each form?

I have searched the forums and help files but haven't been able to find something that answers this.

Thanks

Stuart

Hello Stuart,

Please be noted that each form is a separate entity and each form fields needs to be maintained separately. Since it is a html form, it is not possible to include any other file but with a little workaround it is possible to achieve your requirement. Here are the steps you should follow:

#1. Create a new form which should only have header items like logo and other items which you want to display in top. 

#2. Grab the form's direct URL.

#3. The form which you have created in step #1 can be used in all other form which you have created by adding "Iframe Embed" widget in other forms. Please check the screenshot below:

Hope this helps.

Do get back to us if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Hi Ashwin

Thanks for your detailed and helpful reply, which does answer a lot of my query.

iframes are bit problematic for this project, although not necessary excluded.

One thing I was wondering, though. Is it possible to include an external HTML link to say an image which is externally maintained, so that if that is updated the forms are automatically updated as well?

Or is it a case with Jot Forms that when you load an image via a link it becomes stored on the server and is unique to that form?

Thanks

Stuart

It is possible as long as the file path, the filename and the file format of the image are the same for example: 

filepath = http://http://www.mycompany.com/image-logo.jpg
filename = image-logo
format = .jpg

Your image is not stored on our server if its an external link source. Every time the form refreshes the image will be pulled from the external source link and not from our server.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need further help. Thanks!
