Form URL Parameters

Transcript Summary

Introduction

Hi, Tim from Tadabase here. Today, we're shining a spotlight on URL parameters inside of the form component.

Overview of the Form Component

The form component is the best and fastest way to add data to your application using Tadabase. You can take this one step further by utilizing and assigning URL parameters to different fields within the form component.

How URL Parameters Work

What this looks like to the end user is if someone sends you a link that contains URL parameters, when you visit that page, it will pre-fill all the necessary fields on the form. This makes it as easy as clicking the save button to create a new record.

Getting Started with URL Parameters

To get started with URL parameters:

  1. Navigate to the Builder and go to any page that has a form component.
  2. Click on any given field in the form and enable "Get value from URL" after assigning a parameter name.
  3. You just need to include this parameter in the URL on the live app to pre-fill that particular field.

Conclusion

I hope this helps you learn how to use URL parameters inside of Tadabase. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you on the next one.
