Any way to determine where a form was initiated?

Question

I have an internet (not intranet) web page.

This web page will have two buttons.

I want to use the same form and use a Dynamic Form Rule (?, automation?, ??) to display or hide fields on the same form depending on which button was pushed on the internet page.

Is there a way to do this or is this a case of just having to use two forms with the fields hidden or displayed as appropriate?

You should always ty to avoid multiple roles for the same Role as the system will not be able to read your mind as to which form to use once he record is saved.

I suggest using form rules.

The Add Record buttons available to the EOTI user can populate a field to indicate the to the form as to which Form Rules should apply.

If you need help with the code for the buttons, then you will need to post the current code and tell us which field needs to be populated with which value.

Maybe I simplified too much.I have a web page on the internet.From that web page someone could push one button to register for an online event occurring at a specific date and time to discuss their problemOr, from the same web page someone could push a different button to submit a problem without registering for an online event.The same form could be used for both problem submissions with the event time and date selection being hidden (ticket submission) or visible (event registration).How could you set up a Dynamic Form Rule to hide or show the event time and date based on which web page button was pushed?------------------------------Katherine Oakey------------------------------

When they click to register for an Event, are they launching off a list of events?

Probably the other way around I think.One button would get them to a form with the list of events visible while the other button would get them to a form where the 'event' piece of submitting a problem for subsequent work is hidden.The web page can connect to a QB form (which I have no clue how that happens yet but I know other QB applications we have do this). &nbsp; &nbsp;The web page itself, without more work, doesn't directly have access to a list of available events. &nbsp;Unless I break out the form so the 'problem' submission form is used by both with an initial form to select the event date/time (but that seems like non-simplification to me). &nbsp;------------------------------Katherine Oakey------------------------------

So you can make a checkbox field called [Show Event Dropdown] and have a form rule to show that event drop one field if the checkbox is checked.If the [Show Event Dropdown] field was fid 99, then the button which allows the user to select an event would need to include a line&amp; "&amp;_fid_99=1" // this will show the event drop down field.&nbsp; That says to check (true) fid 99.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)Quick Base Solution ProviderYour Quick Base Coachhttp://QuickBaseCoach.commark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------
