However, I hope you enjoy Gravity Forms and what it does currently offer (which is a lot)! chemcom on "What to do with a series of forms" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-to-do-with-a-series-of-forms#post-56724 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:47:09 +0000 chemcom 56724@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi David, thanks for your reply. I think I will have to do the organizing outside of GF and hope that the save & resume feature comes quickly. I have to admit I'm disappointed since I thought this would be a reasonably straightforward thing to do with the plugin and it's one of the main reasons I purchased. Oh well. :( Thank you!

And it definitely doesn't support the ability to combine data from multiple forms into a single entry. You could use a multi-part form, but as you said, there is no save and resume function built in anywhere.

I think kyle's solution of merging/manipulating data after based on some common key user indicator is probably the smartest way to do it. chemcom on "What to do with a series of forms" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-to-do-with-a-series-of-forms#post-56674 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:34:19 +0000 chemcom 56674@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Perhaps... seems like a lot of work though. If the entries are already there in the Wordpress admin area, there must be a way to tell GF to append the first entry with the information from the forms that follow. kyle on "What to do with a series of forms" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-to-do-with-a-series-of-forms#post-56673 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:29:23 +0000 kyle 56673@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Maybe it's something you can do at the export stage. Export to CSV and then manipulate the data based on email fields in each form. chemcom on "What to do with a series of forms" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/what-to-do-with-a-series-of-forms#post-56671 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:26:02 +0000 chemcom 56671@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hello! I have just downloaded a business license of Gravity forms and I'm getting to know it - looks good so far! I'm not sure how to set up a series of forms, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Since GF doesn't currently have a save & resume feature and I need to gather a lot of information, I will need to split the data collection into a series of forms. How do I set it up so that as long as the visitor puts his email address in each of the forms, his information is compiled into one entry? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
