Form Builder - Add button in Client account - webannie - May 28th, 2014
In the client account Forms, a the base of table are buttons Delete, Select all, Unselect all, Add. The first 3 buttons do as expected, but Add button does not do anything. Presumably it is suppose to let you add a new form?? Any suggestions??
Thanks

Hi Anne,
The "Add" needs to be enable in a View first in order for the client to add a new submission. If you have a filter in your view then you'll need to add a default value for the view in order for the "Add" button to work properly.
Cheers,
Joe

Thanks Jo. The ADD button is now working if I insert a default value that is the same as filter.
Eg if filter is company name and I add a default value of say Smiths.
Then ADD will works for the client with Smiths company name. But I am only able to add one default company name, so ADD will not work for clients with a different company name.
Any way around this??

I don't think I explained myself very well in the above. So I'll try again.
View has filters in place.
What sort of default are you suggesting? Do you mean a default for the filter category?
If I use default for the filter field, then ADD works for the forms where that answer is given but not for any other form.
Not sure what sort of default I can use to get ADD to work for all forms? Any suggestions appreciated?

I've got it sorted now. I have to create a new VIEW for each individual client I want to have a default value. Works perfectly now. Thanks

Hi Anne,
I'm glad you were able to sort that out. Individual filters would have been what I would have suggested as well.
