Custom naming of a form

Hi everyone,

A request was placed on me today where by my client asked if it would be
possible to customize the automatic naming of a completed form.
Usually, on a survey's final page, we usually get presented with the name
of the form, whether we'd like to mark it as finalized or not (of course
depending on your general settings) and the button Save Form and Exit.

Is it possible to have the survey pick and read from a specific variable
and concatenate this to the form's name? My client would like to include a
respondent's name or unique ID in the form's name before saving and exiting.

Is this possible? Please let me know.

Kind regards,
Ramadhan Swalleh

Ramadhan,

Yes. If you are using XLSForm you can add a instance_name to the
settings worksheet and put whatever formula you want there. See
http://xlsform.org/#instance_name
