Options for submit

Avatar

Level 2

Hi,

I have a form that's about 2 megs. Are there different options available to submit the information in a smaller data format?

1) Cannot use webservices as internet is not always available

Can it save the info as csv which can be emailed? How do other people who have larger forms digest the information?

Thanks for your help

You have three choices .....submit the entire form (as a PDF), submit just the data in the form (as XML) or submit just the data in name value pairs (like an HTML submit). In all cases if there is no Internet then there is no submit. You may want to look at emailing your submission as email has a store and forward mechanism....where as submitting (or posting) requires that a server be present to catch the post.

Hope that helps

Thanks Paul.

I just want to clarify, if I submit as XML or name value pairs, can that be done via email? I do not understand the store and forward mechanism.

Thanks

You can submit the xml in an email but the name value pairs can only be posted to a server. The store and forward means that I do not have to be connected to a network ...I can create the email and it will sit in my Outbox (Store) until I connect to the network and resync my email (Forward).

I think that's a good work around. I'll have it submit the xml in an email. I'll jump into livecycle and see if I can do this.

Thanks
