Hi Jack,

Multi-step forms are not officialy supported by dedicated webpart and in order to achieve it in forms you will have to use either code the functionality yourself and create a new webpart or try to use dependancy fields as per http://devnet.kentico.com/Knowledge-Base/BizForms/Using-dependency-fields-in-forms.aspx where you could basically show some fields after some fields were filled and hide the old fields.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek

RE:Multiple page BizForms
Thanks. I was trying to use alternative forms. Any idea why I cannot see Bizform settings in online form web part properties. My other team member can see it. Does it needs different permission level.

RE:Multiple page BizForms
Hi,

Can you please be more specific? Which webpart do you mean (is it On-line form webpart?) and what permission are you referring to? Could you maybe post s screenshot?

Also do you have access to Site manager?

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek

RE:Multiple page BizForms
I am using alternate form on different pages to achieve this. I can save data for step 1 but on step 2 getting error:
An error occured when saving data: 'Cannot insert the value NULL into column Q4.
