I am developing a user form (version 4.7 ) which has the following requirements:

 

  1. Auto saving the data as the form is being completed;
  2. Time out after 20 minutes if there is no activity on the form;and
  3. save the ID as a 4 digit number i.e. 1 would be saved as 0001, then 0002, 0003 and so on

Could anybody offer any advice on how I could achieve the above on my form

 

Many thanks

 

Andrew

Where are you saving this ID? To a SQL Database or SmartBox? In any case, even though it is numeric, you may have to define it as text to get the behavior you want.

Hi,


 


Perhaps, you can use the Timer control for the item # 2. Regarding the item # 3, you might want to use expression with Pad Left inline function to accomplish this, see link below. https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/userguide/5.2/default.htm#Create/Views/ControlExpressions.htm?Highlight=pad left.

Thanks for this, but I am still struggling to get the ID to save as 4 digits i.e 0001 rather than 1 when the record is initally created.

 

Could you offer any further advice on how to get the ID saved as above when you use the create method

 

Regards

 

Andrew

Would you mind sharing your work around? I think it would be valuable for others (and myself!) to hear how you handled this. Thanks!
