Scenario - a member of staff submits a form. Can I then capture this submission data in another form that their manager will complete (which is essentially the same form with some additional fields) then submit.
I have checked out the doc on this but this seems to go from submission straight to the 2nd form. Ideally I would like the 2nd form to be picked up from the submissions directory somehow. Ideally I need to know if this is tons of work or not, do I need to look at a different app. I am not a programmer but a long standing Joomla/RSForms user.

Hello,

- Yes, you can capture and display the submission data from another form with RSForm!Pro.

The following article explains how this can be achieved, it is basically a copy+paste solution:

- If you would like the form to be picked up by a manager at later date, you can simply use a submission view that is available only for the managers group which contains the URL to the form that the manager will need to fill in:

www.your-site-name.com/index.php?option=...{global:submissionid}

This URL (specifically the {global:subimissionid} placeholder) will work in the submission view as well and it will point directly to the form the manager needs to fill in (keep in mind that you will need to replace "your-site-name" with your site's domain and "your-second-form-id" with the id of the second form - found in the backend Manage Forms area, in the last column-).

For more information about the Submissions View, please refer to the following article:

Thanks for this - I will dive into this today and let you know how I get on. Many thanks again

OK THANK YOU - I got most of this working now but now armed with the knowledge I have probably misunderstood my own point!
I can now display the data on another form. - struggling with the link url from the submission directory but I did get it to work from the return url from form 1 so could eventually crack that.
It seems to me that the submission directory (which is absolutely top drawer by the way) is where I need to be as the copy and paste method won't populate the text box's of form 2. I wanted it to work that way so I could then ping off a whole host of futher e mails totally different to form 1.

I am looking at this scenario now, on form 1 have another 2 fields with a notation explaining supervisor only (or can I hide them at this phase of the forms cycle?). This gets submitted pinging the bog standard e mails. The supervisor then picks this form up in the submission directory completes the remaining fields, I re configure the e mails, the supervisor saves the form and pings the new e mails.

Do you concur with that?
