We're excited to share three new Web Forms features that are scheduled for release in early September. We'd love your feedback below!
Show one question per page
When you set your form's style to pages in the settings tab, Web Forms will now show one question per page, with Back and Next buttons. Note that questions grouped with the field-list appearance will stay together on the same page.
Try the pages-demo.xlsx form or your own in the web forms preview. Here are some questions to consider as you try this with your forms:
- Do repeats work as you would expect?
- Are group and repeat labels shown in a useful way?
- Does the send button work in the way you expect?
- Is keyboard navigation straightforward?
- Are there any additions you'd like to see such as animations, swipe to flip pages, block going to the next page when there are validation errors?
Set field values in the URL
Speed up data entry by setting field values in the URL. Web Forms will automatically fill the matching fields when the form opens, so respondents can focus on entering what’s new.
Use the last saved field value
You can now use ${last-saved#field-name} in the default column to pre-fill a field with the value from the last record saved on that device.
The last saved record is stored in browser storage in clear text. It is stored until the browser reclaims the space.
We look forward to reading your feedback below!
