Confidential Save and Return

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Occasionally, an app or survey needs to remain confidential, but the requirement to save and return later is also essential. Allowing a user to save an app and return to complete it later would normally require the user to enter an e-mail address so that a notification might be sent with a link to reopen the same instance. This example demonstrates how to manage this requirement without an e-mail address.

 

Once an instance is submitted for the first time, it is possible to extract it's URL and display it in a field in the app. The user may then copy and save the link, allowing them to reopen that instance later. For this example, a save button is included in the app. When the save button is pressed, the unique URL to reopen the app instance is displayed. The user can copy the URL in any browser window to reopen the same instance.

 

Be aware that a user must have submitted the app at least once for the unique URL to display. In this example, when the Save button is pressed, the instance submits and immediately reopens to display the URL.
