As forms are used, the values entered into form fields are cached on the  Server until the form is submitted or until the user's session times out. 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. The form fields may contain values from your back-end systems if you used the Advanced Document URI feature or from a business rule triggered by either the form.load or form.activate conditions.

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

Excerpt

A designer must make changes to a form/workflow in their company space at the request of a co-worker. The requesting employee logs into the company space, selects the form/workflow from the menu and copies the form/workflow instance URL from the browser.  An opaque URL such as the one shown below is emailed to the designer. The designer can't remember what user, app, form/workflow name that opaque url maps to and uses the lookup feature to find the form/workflow they need to fix/enhance.

Paste the opaque URL into your browser. Remove everything after the uuid. Replace it with lookup after the slash. Press the Enter key. Login to the tenant (determined by the tenant name after the /tn in the URL) as an admin, designer or publisher user if presented with the login screen.

The uuid is converted to the user id of the designer who owns the space.

Login to the tenant as the specified user and edit the space menu to get the raw form/workflow link. Remove everything after the formtype, flowtype, value in the opaque Raw Form/Workflow link. In the example shown, you would remove all characters starting with the question mark (question).

The workflow named Example 3 - PO for Sales Review is located in the tenant mycompany, in the designer user account, in the project Purchase Order Completed.

Code Block
User: designer
Application: Purchase Order Completed
FlowWorkflow: Example 3 - PO for Sales Review
Note

In versions prior to v9.1 Projects were known as "Applications." The /lookup parameter will still return "Application" as a result populated with the Project name.
