Hi,
I'm using Godaddy web builder for a simple submission website. Essentially, the user will fill out a jotform with a bunch of data and then I would like that data piped back from jotform to the users profile with some additional information and formatted in such a way that it can be printed. Is this something that can be done?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
Thank you for reaching out to Jotform Support. Our Prefill feature lets you do that. Let me walk through it, step by step:
- On your My Forms page, click on Create a Form on the upper-left side of the page. After that, click on Add Elements and select elements and widgets of your choice. You can use this form on your website for your users to fill. I've created Form 1 as an example of this case.
- After that, again on your My Forms page, create another form and add additional data fields of your choice. I've created Form 2 as an example of this case.
- Now, in Form Builder of your second form, click on Publish in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page and choose Prefill.
- Next, click on Form Prefill and choose a form to get data from. In this case I've chosen Form 1 as an example. After that, match your fields and click on Save Settings.
- Now, click on Add a New Prefill. Then, choose a submission to create a prefilled form for and click on Create on the upper-right side of the page.
- After that, click on Settings in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page and choose Emails. Now, choose the mail you want to send printable PDF of the submission to and click on Pencil icon. I've choose Notification Email in this case as an example.
- Finally, click on Advanced and turn Attach PDF On and click on Save. That's it.
Give it a try and let us know if you need any other help.

Thank you Yale. Is there a way to add a unique QR code to each submission? I'd also like to give each submission a unique identifier like a sequential number, is that possible?

Nevermind I figured out both of these in Widgets.
Thanks,

Hi Matt,
I'm not sure I understand your last question. Can you explain a bit more about the issue you're having so that I can have a better idea of what's going on and help you with a solution? It will also be helpful if you can take a recording of what's happening and share the link with our Support Forum. You can upload the video recording to any public sharing platform like Google Drive, YouTube, or Dropbox and share the public link with us. You can also use Loom to record the video and share the video link with us.
After we hear back from you, we'll be able to move forward with this.

In a nutshell I need my forms to do the following.
User fills out form and submits it.
Form should take that data and add some stuff to it (like a QR code and user number)
Send revised data back to user. Email would be fine but it would be even better if the data could somehow get posted back to the users page where they submitted the form.
Side note, the QR code should be able to call back the individuals reformatted data so it can be printed.
The use case here is the user will input a bunch of information about their car into the form, we will take that data and reformat it in a pretty way with some data removed and some data added that is suitable for printing a display. If the user needs to print out more forms, they should be able to scan the QR code on our computer and it will print out new copies for them.
Hope that made sense.
Matt
