   Most of my forms are contracts. I would like to be able to fill in some of the fields before emailing it to my clients. When I do that on the page "view", then copy the url, and email it, all of the fields I filled out have gone blank. I've been in contact with appnitro, but nothing they suggest has worked. Any ideas? Thanks

   Well if Yuniar's suggestions do not work; then I don't think we'll be of much help. BUT - have you enabled "Allow Clients to Save and Resume Later" option? Not sure if that will do it though, I think that MachForm saves the session values so it can remember who filled in what - but you could try that and see if it works.

   This might have been one of the things Yuniar suggested (?), but I'm sure this is close to what you're asking for - you can pre-fill forms by using the URL parameters.

   http://www.appnitro.com/doc-url-parameters

   So you email the entire URL with the form parameters and values, and when the user clicks the link it opens your form, with all the values filled in. This works for the stand-alone "view" of the form - not sure how it would work for embeded forms using Javascript, PHP or IFrame, I suppose within the embed code you add the URL paramenter "bits" to the URL there.

   (Yuniar should be able to help with this, if required, so suggest contacting Appnitrro Support again).

   As an example see my form here.

   https://www.murraywebs.net/mf/view.php?id=22015&element_27=This%20is%20example%201&element_28=what%20about%20example%202&element_29=Example3

   Example1 prefilled : This is example 1
   Example2 prefilled: What about example 2
   Example 3 prefilled:Example3

   You can also specify default values in the Field's property options - but I suspect that you want data/values that are specific to the client?

   Without seeing your form/s I can't suggest anything more specific - can we see a sample form?

   By the way, the suggestion by @saghalie could well work since the "saved" form is saved in the database (rather than as cookies on a specific user PC), so you can send the "save and resume" URL to the client.

   Please try both methods, and see if they do work for you.

   Is there a clear known solution to the question above?
