Redirect on Finish

Following options are available to redirect:

Redirect to Home

A checkbox is available labelled "Wait for project to finish processing before redirect". If this box is checked, a submission and data object synchronization will take place before the user is redirected to the home page. If the box is not checked, the redirect happens immediately and the project submission will happen in the background.

Redirect to Project

Allows to select published project to be redirected to. Note that an additional option Include Project Properties is displayed, allowing to specify project property values.

Redirect to Url

Allows to specify to which URL the project will be redirected. Note that this can be a reference or hard coded value.

All options have Online Message on Redirect property.

Responses Submitted Title and Text

The Responses Submitted Title and Responses Submitted Text will display on the finish page to reassure users and direct them to their next action.

Sample configured Finish Page

Restrict Downable Documents

The "Restrict Downloadable Documents" option allows the Designer to hide or display the available documents on the Finish page over the default behavior of displaying all the downloads.

Hiding Documents On the Finish Page

Remove documents from the list to hide documents from the Finish page.

  1. Open your project in Design and go to the Properties section of Finish page.

  2. Under Generate, select the Restrict Downloadable documents option.

  3. Click the options button in Document(s). The Select Documents popup opens.

  4. Use the dialog to add or remove items from the available documents.

  5. Save your project. The selected documents should reflect those available after submission.

  6. (Optional) To show the document again, select the document from the drop-down list and click Add.

📘

Note

Only restricted documents will appear in the drop-down list.

Saved Answer Files

The Finish page always contains the option for the user to save their responses as an answer file for reuse later. A new copy of the same project can be populated with the answers from a saved answer file.

Answer files saved at Finish are kept permanently but can be deleted by the user or from the API.

Best Practice

Saved answer files are only useful for a user to repopulate the same version of a project when they are completing it a second time. Using saved answer files on projects that have been modified (different questions, new questions, different conditions etc) can cause unexpected results and may cause the new project to not load.

Where users' data needs to be stored and re-used later, SmartIQ offers a range of options for storage outside the SmartIQ server including the use of external datasources, connectors to storage platforms such as Salesforce or Dynamics, REST based platforms and Amazon and Azure storage.

For Prepare Form and Generate Form APIs best practice is to pass data either using individual values in the values object or supplied data in the data object.
