titleClick here for quick refresher about appending parameters 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.

Form B's from schema document is in the same namespace as form A's since we added the same XSD data source to both. So the values entered into form A's fields will be used as an initial instance document to initialize form B's fields. Refer to Multi page forms for the details about posting data between forms using Form Action wizards.

See default field values to understand the precedence that XML documents sent in the Post request to form B take over the other possible methods of defaulting form field values.
