Multi Paged Form enables one to incorporate multiple forms in one single form, in a simple and elegant way.
The form in the example shown below contains a multi-paged form with 4 pages in tabbed style.
Figure 1: Sample Multi Paged Form
The first 2 pages point to "Personal Form" and "Education Form", while the next 2 pages point back to the same set of forms but as confirmation screens. Configurations are shown below.
Figure 2: Sample Multi Paged Form Properties
Pages 3 and 4 must be referenced to the same key used in pages 1 and 2 in order to show the intended form data. Note that pages 3 and 4 are set to "Readonly". The option Partially store form when page changed? in the general settings must be checked as well.
