Multiple Form Entry Views

    Am working on a complex form where various sections must be broken out and sent to different departments. Is it possible to create multiple form entry views? If not, any workaround ideas would be great.

    My best guess is that I will need to use a php script to parse the MySQL data, set up several custom web views that can also be saved as a PDF and emailed to the proper dept.

    MachForm looks absolutely amazing and if I can resolve this and the calculating fields issues, I will purchase. I haven't seen anything that comes close--and you can't beat the price.

    Do you mean multiple page forms? If so, I'm afraid this feature is not available.

    No, not multiple page forms, but I see a post about using js that can be a workaround. I mean form entry views, as in your job application example, "Edit and manage your form entries."

    This just happens to be a client who has a very complicated situation--if we can't figure out a way to scale back, he's going to need a custom programmer. But since we have access to the MachForm php code plus utilizing 3rd party solutions, I'm hoping that I can address enough situations with this app. If not for this client, I'm certainly going to use it for others.

    Ahh.. I see.

    Hmm.. you will need to add your own customization indeed.

    Perhaps you could just duplicate the manage_entries.php file for each department and then hardcode the columns selection into each file.

    However, you will need to hack view_entry.php too, so that they can't view the whole data.

    Pretty much of hack, I think.
