Multi-Page form secured by payment / member status

    Looking at your product for a long (200+ question) business evaluation that requires a member to purchase before accessing.

    It's hard to confirm features with the majority of your site behind the license access, but I wanted to confirm:
    1) it can handle a multi-page script
    2) Using a membership ecart like Cart66 or Shopplugin I can restrict access to the forms
    3a) a respondent can save and return to a partially completed form and resume it (2 hours can be a long time to complete the survey)
    or
    3b)If they cannot save a partial form, I can break the questionnaire into multiple forms and allow a member to only complete each one once.

    1. Yes, multi-page forms are built in.

    2. The 1.6 version of the plugin (currently in beta release) as the option to restrict form access to logged in members. Right now, you can embed the form in a page and restrict access to that page using whatever method or plugin works for you (for members only content.)

    3a. This is not built in to Gravity Forms at all. Partial forms are not saved.

    3b. You can break the long form into multiple forms and pass the data from one form to the next, so that the data entry does not have to be repeated. This will require some customization as it will not happen out of the box without a little bit of work.

    Thank you for the information. I would be perfectly happy with multiple forms writing separately to the tables as described in http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/user-submit-form-lock-notification-of-submission-on-a-user-page but don't want a user to be able to go back and re-do the evaluation without paying for it.

    For clarification, is it possible to limit a user to completing a particular form once?

    If one of the fields on your form is the users email address you could set that field as requiring a unique value and then the user would not be able to fill out that form again if they have already done so.

    Granted they could change their email address, but that is one way to make it so a user only filles out a form once. Other than that there are no other methods.
