  • dispose=(true/false) -- The form instance is deleted after the form is rendered in print view.
  • _readonly=(true/false) -- The form will open but you will not be able to enter values into the form when _readonly=true. The default is false.
  • _data -- A way to pass default values into form fields via the form URL.  See the details here.
  • _extId -- A way to have multiple users connect to the same form instance. See details below.
  • _layoutID or _layoutID!userID!tenantId-- Dynamically select a layout which takes precedence over the layout selected at either the Application or in the Form. See here for the details.
  • _styleID or _styleID!userID!tenantId - Dynamically select a style which takes precedence over the style selected at either the Application or in the Form. See here for the details.

  • _formActionMethod=(get/post) - Overrides the form action's method. Defaults to get. See the _formActionMethod section.
  • _formActionTarget=(frame/parent/top) - Overrides a form action target. Defaults to frame. See the _formActionTarget below.

  • apikey --
  • _formTz – This parameter overrides the timezone of the browser/form. Refer to Time Zones  for more information.
  • _device - (tablet/phone/desktop) –used to show the specified device view in your browser. This parameter is very helpful when testing forms for mobile devices as you can see the phone or tablet view from your desktop.
  • _submissions=(ID ENTRY FROM FORM SUBMISSION TABLE) - used to instantiate older submissions of a form or flow.  
  • _cancelUrl=(some URL) - This parameter bypasses the standard cancellation message and will redirect the user to the specified URL when the Cancel button is clicked.

...

  • Copy the the Link (Email/Web Page) share URL for one of your forms and append ?_extId=123 to the formtype URL. Open that URL in your browser and start filling in a form. Do NOT submit the form.
  • Next, open a 2nd browser tab or window and use just the formtype URL and it will be blank. A new form instance is created.
  • Open a 3rd browser tab or window and use the share URL again appended with ?_extId=123, and you'll get back to the 1st instance.

formActionUrl, _formActionMethod, _formActionTarget

The Form Action can be overridden by using these special (reserverd) URL parameterUrl parameters. The presence of _formActionURL overrides any Form Action in the Form Designer by specifying which URL Url to go to when the form gets submitted.

_formActionMethod is optional and can be set to either "get" or "post". If unspecified it defaults to "get" causing the user to get forwarded to this web page when the form is submitted. If set to "post" it will also post the data to this URLUrl.

_formActionTarget is optional and only taken into account when _formActionURL formActionUrl is specified. It can be set to one of the values: frame, parent, top (lower case). It defaults to Frame frame if not specified.

When the _formActionURL formActionUrl parameter is set but no URL Url is given (i.e. ...&_formActionURL formActionUrl =&embed=...) the top frame will be closed. It is as if you set Form Action to Close" in the Form Designer.

For example... the share URL Url with &_formActionURLformActionUrl=http://www.google.com, will cause the form to display google.com when it's submitted, even if in the Form Designer you had set the Form Action to be "Display Message" or one of the other options. 

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

_cancelUrl

The designer can override the standard 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:

The user must click "Yes" for the warning message "Are you sure?" and then will be directed to the specified Url.

Setting _cancelUrl= to blank closes the target window or tab if it was opened by javascript or <a target="new"…/>. Otherwise it will simply show a blank page.
