You'd likely have to hire a developer to do this for you. What I would have the developer do is include the qualifiers field in the form, as a blank hidden field. Then create a simple application based on your requirements that allows you to randomly add a value to the qualifiers field. Then another button that takes all those with a value in qualifiers and randomly selects one of them as the winner. </p> <p>You could post a job like this on a site like odesk.com and probably find someone willing and able to write this customization for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/draw-a-qualifier#post-162030 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 11:08:46 +0000 Dale 162030@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>HI David, thanks for the quick reply. We use the developer addition for all of our radio station sites.</p> <p>Aside from normal forms (contact submissions and such) we also use it for contest entry.</p> <p>I'll try to decsribe this to the best of my ability.</p> <p>1) Say we are doing a "win a house contest". We have a typical form to collect Name, address, all contact info etc.<br /> 2) all these entries get collected as any other form does. Nothing out of the ordinary here.<br /> 3) For us as admins, when looking in the back end, under entries for "win a house contest", I'd be looking to have a button/field to "pick a qualifier from the overall pool of entries. </p> <p>The overall list of entries stays untouched. Say Bob Jones, was a listed entry. He may get randomly picked and added to qualifiers, but still is in the list of entries.</p> <p>Lastly, have an option to Pick a Winner, from the narrowed down "qualifiers" pool.</p> <p>Obviously the Draw a Qualifier would be a random pull from Entries, and Pick a Winner would be a random pull from Qualifiers.</p> <p>Does this make sense, I may not be conveying it properly.<br /> Thanks again. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/draw-a-qualifier#post-162019 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 10:59:24 +0000 David Peralty 162019@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you give more detail on what you mean, as I don't really understand. I'm assuming you are wanting to use Gravity Forms entries as entries into a draw? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/draw-a-qualifier#post-162011 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 10:48:56 +0000 Dale 162011@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Would there be a way to add a "Draw/Pick a Qualifier" option in the backend?</p> <p>For example: As entries come in each day, I would like to have the option to "pick a qualifier". This would populate another field (randomly) (Qualifiers) but not remove the entry from list of entries.</p> <p>So a particular entry could reside in entries, and qualifiers.</p> <p>At any given time would like to have a "Pick a winner" from Qualifiers field. This again would randomly pick a winner from the Qualifiers field.</p> <p>Is this at all possible?<br /> Thanks much </p>
