You can change the behavior of your forms by adding URL parameters to the form URLs found in the various share choices. These URL parameters are each described in detail below. Here are the parameters that work for each share choice. You can think of the code you get via the Share Form page as a starting point. Then you can change the behavior to whatever you need by adding, subtracting and modifying the URL parameters in the share code.

Forms created via the API createInstance method are form instances. They are an actual form to be used by a specific user in memory on the Server. Please see Data API for a list of the parameters that can be used with form instance URLs.

Parameter Separators in URLS

If you are appending parameters to a URL, use the ? for separating the form/flow URL from the parameters and use the & to separate parameters from each other. For example, let's say you want to append the Pacific timezone parameter to the share URL of your form/flow.

Here is an example using the Link(Email/Web page) URL for a workflow:

Add ?_formTz=America/Los_Angeles to the URL. Use the ? since there are no existing parameters appended.

Here is an example using the Raw Flow URL for the same workflow:

Add &_formTz=America/Los_Angeles after the last existing paremeter. Use the & since you are separating parameters from each other.
