How do I use the Redirect Button?

Last updated Oct 15 2018

The Redirect button has only one specific purpose, and that is to redirect your form to a different destination.

Following is an example to show you how easy it is to set it up:
1- Create a new blank form
2- Drag a few elements in it: a textbox, a URL and a hidden field.


3- Drag a button element.


4- While the element is selected go to 'Properties' panel > 'Element' tab > 'Settings' option > 
and change its button text to Redirect
and its type to 'Redirect'.


5- Press on the 'Configure' button and the Settings window will open.
- Open the Redirect URL dropdown to choose where the URL address will be taken from.
- Choose the Textbox.
** There are 3 types of fields the Redirect button can use to get the URL from: a Textbox, a URL field and a Hidden field, 
so you will need to have at least on of them in your form.


- Choose the way you want the new URL to open (Self, Parent, Blank, Modal). In this example i chose Blank, to open the URL in a new window.


- Press on the 'Set parameters' checkbox if you want to redirect with PARAMS.
Since the PARAM value will be also taken from the form you will need to turn on the 'Use' checkbox in the relevant field row and specify the param name. (for example: fld2)
In this example we will not use params - so leave this empty.


- Also, when using PARAMS you may want to turn on the 'Validate parameters' checkbox. This will make sure that the field used to collect the param value will not be empty or filled incorrectly.


- Press 'Apply' and save the form.
6- Now test your form:
- Publish it as URL.
- Enter a URL address in the Textbox field and press on the 'Redirect' button. You will see that this destination URL will then open as you specified.



Enjoy!
