You can change the behavior of your forms by adding URL frevvo URL parameters to the form URLs found in the various share choices. These URL frevvo 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 frevvo API createInstance method are form instances. They are an actual form to be used by a specific user in memory on the Serverfrevvo Server. Please see Data API for a list of the parameters that can be used with form instance URLs.

Access to form instance is secure.The form instance cannot be accessed from a different browser or a different device. For Example, if you use the same _extID value in a different browser or on a different device, the form will not load the same instance (i.e the same values filled in the form fields) even if you are logged into  as frevvo as the same user.

To utilize this feature, try this example:

...

_formActionUrl params are used directly by  to frevvo to re-direct the browser. When the _formActionUrl (or any parameter)  is received, it is url decoded by the servlet container. Therefore, it is best practice to encode the _formActionUrl paramater value. It is up to the  client the frevvo client to encode passed in _formActionUrls.

...

The designer can override the standard message frevvo message that displays when the user clicks on the Cancel button in a form and redirect them to a webpage of your choice by appending the _cancelUrl=(some Url) to the raw form link. For example, if you want to redirect users to http:www.google.com the raw form link should look like this:
