How to allow users to edit their own submissions?

    Asked on August 31, 2016 at 8:57 PM

    I thought I needed to create autoresponders in order to enable the user to access a link that would let them re-edit and update the data they submitted with a form. Turns out the confirmation email includes the following which provides that capability automatically:

     
     

    So it appears I can delete all the autoresponders, right? I want users to be able to go back and update the data they have submitted with a form and the above which displays at the end of a confirmation email seems to do that.

    How do I get this above string to display in each of my 22 current target languages? Where do I edit it?

    If I understand your requirement correctly, you want to allow your users to edit their submission data. Yes it is possible to achieve your requirement by taking advantage of our "Edit_link" feature.

    I have 23 autoresponders. All of them had the
    edit link feature already in the form but in UPPER CASE, so I
    went to the trouble to add the Edit Link to every form so it
    displays in "lower case". I assume you did not look at any of my
    forms before you sent the message below.
