Is there a way to allow my surveyors to start filling out and come back to complete later if they need to?

    Yes, your visitors can continue filling out your form at a later date. We have two different ways to achieve this.

    1. We have a quick and easy option that allows you to do just that, described on this guide:

    https://www.jotform.com/help/227-How-to-Enable-Auto-Fill-Feature

    With this option enabled, the answers of your users will be saved in their browser's cookies. Your users will need to use the same browser to complete filling out the form, and they should not clear their browser cookies because by erasing their cookies they would erase their partially filled answers on your form as well.

    2. We also have a more complex way to save the temporary data on our servers, so that your users do not need to use the same browser and can even clear out their cookies. This second method is a bit more complex to set up, and the following guide describes how:

    I'd recommend you try the Auto Fill option first and see if it fits your needs.

    Please let us know if you need further clarifications or assistance, and we'll be glad to help. Cheers
