As forms are used, the values entered into form fields are cached on the  Server until the form is submitted. Each time you navigate a browser to a form URL, for example the URL you can copy/paste into a browser from the Email/Web Page share choice, you will see a blank form. That is, the form fields will be blank if you left them blank when you were designing the form in the Form Designer, or will have any default values you entered into the Form Designer. Also the form fields may contain values from your back-end systems if you used the Advanced Document URI feature.

If you close your browser window/tab and again open the form via the share URL, you will again get a blank form.

Another approach for minor changes is to make a copy of the form, make your changes in the copy, then migrate the changes to the original form. This minimizes the time period during which users may experience error conditions.

Share Link for Flows

Note

The Google Gadget option in the flow sharing list is not currently supported and will be removed in a future release.

Embedded Form/flows on Mobile Devices

The Embedded Form share link will now dynamically determine if it should embed an iframe for (desktop) or a link for (mobile). Using the Embedded Form share link on a mobile device, then a basic link will be embedded in the page rather than an iframe, etc. The designer can customize it a bit with some new parameters

 

Anonymous Access to Public Forms/Flows in Container Managed Tenants

If you are using a tenant configured for a container security manager and you want to allow anonymous access to your forms/flows, you must manually add "public" to the link to make forms/flows accessible to users who are not logged in.  You must do this if you are using any of the url types in the Share dialog for forms and flows, using a  Space or embedding forms/flows in your website. The public URL allows the tenant to be secured while public forms can be accessed anonymously, ex: a job application on an external website.   

Here is an example of a public url used to access a form in a container security managed tenant. The form/flow visibility is set to public via the  Access Control feature. Anonymous users will be able to access the form as the servlet container will ALLOW access to the frevvo.war and ' access control will ALLOW access to the form. Close/open your browser or copy/paste the public url into another browser when testing.

...

 You will not see the public url listed in the Share light box.  

Browser Session Security

When you create a new form, by default it is marked as private. At this time the only person who can use the form via any of the form's share choices, is the person logged into this  account. Once you are ready to let others use your form you can mark the form as public. Now anyone that is given the form's Url via any of the form's share choices, has access to use and submit the form.
