Auto Login to Edit

Sometime you need to provide a link for an end user so that they can return to their form and edit a previously submitted record. You can do this by having them choose a login and password and using the login page in Respondent Update Mode.  Or you can generate a URL that allows an end user to return and edit a previous submission without logging in.

This link can be useful to set up approval modes and to enable two step data collection.

Generate the Auto Login URL

The Integration Wizard generates this link for you.

1. Launch the Integration Wizard for your selected Form by clicking Integration in the  Form Designer toolbar.
2. Click Next.
3. Choose Direct Link and click Next.
4. Choose Direct Edit Link and click Next.
5. Copy the resulting URL from the LInk Code window to your clipboard for use later.

You need to include the link in an Autoresponder, Notification, Trigger, or PDF generated within Logiforms so that the LFUUID (a unique ID assigned to every record) can be parsed and replaced with the actual unique ID. The [LFUUID] value could also be replaced manually.

Autoresponders and notifications function as if it was a respondent update.

Example of a Two Step Data Collection Process

The URL you generate can be used, for example, to enable a two step data collection process. Suppose you allow a user to fill out the first page of a multi-page web form and then force  the form to be submitted instead of advancing to the next page using a conditionally branching action. The URL generated above could be used within the Redirect URL of an autoresponder to redirect the user back to the same form, but this time they would be editing the previously submitted record.

Or you could append '&startPage=Page2' to the URL so that the user on page 2 of the form.
