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 re-open the same instance. This example demonstrates how to manage this requirement without an e-mail address.
Once an instance submits for the first time, it is possible to extract the URL for the instance and show it in a field on the app. The user may then copy and save the link allowing them to re-open that instance later. For this example, a save button is included in the app. When the save button is pressed, the unique URL to re-open the app instance displays. The user can copy the URL in any browser window to re-open the same instance.
Be aware that a user must have submitted the app at least once before the unique URL displays. In this example, when the Save button is pressed, the instance submits and immediately re-opens to display the URL.
