Big Bizform - AutoSave functionality

Hi Guys,

We are building a kentico bizform in kentico 7. Form is having more than 70-80 fields in it.

We would like users to save the form half way and fill the form whenever they return to the website. e.g. user fills few fields today and kentico saves the form. user returns after few days and fills rest of the fields. Kentico stores the information in the database based on the user email address.

What would be the best way to achieve this feature in kentico 7?

Thanks
Gitesh Shah

RE:Big Bizform - AutoSave functionality

Hello.

This scenario would require some customization and it may depend on particular fields settings, e.g. if they allow empty values or not.

Basically, you need to have some storage (probably some custom table or cookie) when you save information about current user and fields they filled. Next time the form is loaded, you can check this storage, compare saved user info with current user and pre-load respective fields. This could be done in proper BizForm event as described in this example. Also please refer to BizForm’s customization possibilities.

Best Regards,
Radek Macalik
