With the Blank Form in Timetonic, it is possible to share a shareable URL per view to allow a user to input new records into your table.
ℹ️ This function does not allow editing existing records, but only creating new entries in Timetonic. If that’s what you’re looking for, please refer to the article: External Form
Here are the steps to use this feature:
➡️ Enable form sharing
To share the form of a table, go to:
1️⃣ the Share option and click on
2️⃣ Share the form :
⚙️ Configuration Window
The configuration window opens:
1️⃣ Title
Give a title to the external form to personalize it.
2️⃣ Description
Give a description to the external form to personalize it.
3️⃣ Final Message
Add a final message to your form to personalize it. The message will appear when clicking the save button.
4️⃣ Logo: Add a logo to the form, upload an image from your files.
5️⃣ Cover: Add a cover to the form to personalize it, upload an image from your files.
6️⃣ Redirection URL: Instead of adding a final message, TimeTonic allows redirecting the user to a URL after saving their entry.
- ☑️ Check the box "use a column as the redirection source" (allows for different redirection per row), and make the selection.
- Insert the desired URL directly into the “Redirection URL” field.
7️⃣ Invisible captcha protection
Protect yourself from bots by enabling the captcha.
8️⃣ Add authentication: the recipient will need to input their TimeTonic ID and password to access the form. (then you will be able to know who create this line in the update field)
9️⃣ Save button label
Allows changing the text on the form's save button.
🔟 Grouping Mode
If your table contains groups, you can use them in your forms.
There are two grouping modes:
- By Group: Displays groups as expandable vertical accordions.
-
Step by Step: Displays groups as distinct steps of the form.
By choosing a grouping mode, you access a list of available groups that you can order as desired.
