    adding additional information on submitted form

    Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to this program but have done decent in figuring it all out. What I am trying to do now though is a little beyond what I can figure out. I have a form that is for the technicians of our company. I want them to be able to fill out the info on the form and have it submit to us via email (have this all set up and working fine). Once we get the email, we basically see the form they filled out, now what I would like is to be able to take that same form and add additional info and then re submit to a different set of people (basically we are the middle man who has to check for validity and then forward to appropriate people with a little bit of additional info). I am trying to make this form as simple as possible for everyone so that it can give us the information needed quickly with very little head ache. Thank you.

    Hi Tim Tim Tim,

    I have attached a sample which allows re-submitting/forwarding the form via e-mail. Basically, what you should look into is the hidden section that is only available after the form has been submitted, and the Button Properties which uses Rules and Custom Code rather than a Submit action. There are other approches you could use, but in my opinion using two data connections should be a lot more simple than re-using the initial e-mail submit data connection which will require you to delete the previous recepient to forward the data to another person. This way, e-mail connection 1 is for submit button 1 and  e-mail connection 2 is for submit button 2 (Go to Data tab > Data Connections of the sample form).

    To hide the section, I used a boolean isSubmitted (contains a true or false value) which is triggered when the initial submit button has been clicked (Check the rules and conditions of the hidden section).

    For multiple e-mail recepients, you may check this link. Hope this helps.
