Filemaker -- how to show sub summary across more than one page - layout

Beginner filemake rquestion. I'm setting up a layout to tell me how many photo call and other data related to a particular client. So I have a sub summary which shows the client name, and phone call data the body.
The problem is that when the data spills over to another page, the sub summary with the client name disappears, so you have to keep flipping back a page (or sometimes two pages) to see which client the data relates to.
It seems like this should be simple, but for some reason I can't seem to get it to work. Thanks for any help!

You can put the client name in the header part and hide it conditionally when the first record on the page belongs to a client different from the previous record.

DocuSign Data Label connection to 2nd Tab only works on the same page as the original Tab

I've started creating a template that asks for a persons contact information on multiple pages. I've attached 2 different documents. I added all my Tabs to the first document and when I made the Tabs on the 2nd documents and wanted to connect the information view the Data Label so the person doesn't need to write the same information twice it doesn't work. If I move the tab onto the same page the original tab is on the connection appears... I move it back on the next page and it disappears again...
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Things I've tried to correct the problem:
1- copy the template, same issue
2- create a new template with different files, same issue
3- upload a template from another account that I know works, same issue
I spoke to a DocuSign support person yesterday and they were at a loss, but also at the end of their shift so they will call me back, but I thought I'd take a chance here.
Thank you for your help!
Check your Settings -> Sending Settings -> "Automatically replicate information in fields with the same data label". You want the value to be "on all documents in an envelope". Note that this affects all envelopes sent from this account and cannot be set on an individual envelope basis.

Google Surveys -- a way to pass URL parameters into survey?

I have created a Google Survey and I want to be able to pass URL parameters into the survey so that I can track where responses are coming from. Ideally these URL parameters will be populated into the spreadsheet.
I have tried something like this:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/HASH/viewform?src=MY_SOURCE&ref=MY_REF
However, this doesn't seem to be working.
Any help or comments appreciated!
There is no way to pass hidden information, but you can pre-fill form fields using URL parameters:
Open a form in Google Forms
In the top right, click More [...]
Choose Get pre-filled link
Fill in any answer fields you want to pre-populate
Click Submit
To send the pre-populated form to respondents, copy and send the link at the top
I came across this and decided to do the following.
Create a form
At the bottom add your own parameters (lets say user_id)
Click the triple dots on the top right to get a prefilled link
Fill the user_id parameter with user_id
Click Generate and copy the link (Bottom left)
Your link will look like this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIplshiflshdlshdflkhlkb0Exboi5usdfsdf-f/viewform?entry.1370129364=user_id
In my case I wrote something that replaces {user_id} with the actual user id. The link looked like this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIplshiflshdlshdflkhlkb0Exboi5usdfsdf-f/viewform?entry.1370129364={user_id}
I did a simple replace (e.g user_id = 123455) link looks like this https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIplshiflshdlshdflkhlkb0Exboi5usdfsdf-f/viewform?entry.1370129364=123455 and clicking on it will fill the user_id in the form with 123455
Do this if you don't mind the users to be able to change the data (most of them don't).
I've wanted to pass through hidden information through a Google Form and came up with a little work around:
Create a new page/section (old vs new forms) on the form with the questions that you want filled. If you have multiple pages, make the hidden page the last for simiplicity.
Use the "continue to page" option on the last page/section you want visible to go to Submit.
Use the prefill tool to get the entry IDs and set up the link as you need.
When a user accesses the form through the pre-filled URL, the hidden data will be filled in on the hidden page and submitted with their other answers... Although it will be hidden from an EU standpoint.
I use this frequently for transferring data from one form to another. With the CopyDown addon to copy the formula after each form submit so that it builds the pre-fill URL, that when clicked, has just the essential questions (i.e. record number, name, etc.) to verify the info. Hit Next, then Submit!
Google Form is not allow you to pass information, you may consider use another method/flow in your system

Take data from query string and put into another form value (for both display and posting)

With that said, there is a question that seems to be asked a lot and has answers - but I'm not a programmer 'enough' to understand all the different explanations. I was hoping for something more clear and concise to my very specific example and need.
I have two forms. (I might also add this is being used on Wordpress)
One form is on the first page and will collect age, home value, and debt owed - all in drop down select fields.
The second form is on the next page and will collect other contact information and upon submit - will post all the fields to my CRM.
I have been able to successfully get the data from the first form into a query string on the page of the second form. But try as I might - I just can't figure out how to get the field data from the query string into my field forms. (Both display or pre-populated and as a value ready to be submitted once the rest of the fields are completed.)
Here is an actual query string:
http://example.com/2-form-test-2-of-2/?age=75&value=572%2C500&lien=107%2C500&sendbutton=#.UYSBEKKG2So
I simply need to get "age" - "value" and "lien" from that query string showing in the fields on the 2nd page. Simple is best - even if it's 'hack-ish' as I will most likely just include the code directly on the Wordpress page that includes this form.
One possible solution is to add a piece of javascript that gets fired on page load and:
1) disables form post button
2) populates form fields with values from URL
3) enables form post button
If these values are just suggestions for user, which he could easily change before posting — this should work.
If, on the other hand, these values are internal and unchangeable by user, you should not expose these in editable form and allow user to change those by editing URL or form posting (but including these as read-only page fragments is apparently ok).
This is place for only programmers. To become a programmer, please refer some online resources and ebooks. without knowing basic concepts, you can't understand anything.
even after understanding basics, if you have doubts, you can ask here, providing the code samples you have developed.

OWA, bless MS's little hearts (at least in the circa 2003 version I'm looking at here) uses frames, so first of all brush up on that or you are gonna be hating life. The list of incoming messages is in a frame named 'viewer' The message summaries are contained in a table lacking any useful means to identify it that is in a div of class 'msgViewerCont" and an ID of dvContents. So to see if a message exists you want to look to see if you can find a row in that table which contains the subject you expect to see.
(be careful using ID values on OWA.. apparently nobody in the group that developed it read the part of the HTML standard that specifies that ID values are supposed to be unique.. the re-use them all over that page.)
Presuming you know the subject of the message you are about to receive, and also that you keep that mail account cleared out so that it will be the ONLY message there with that subject line, then you can check to see if it exists usng
subject = regex.new("subject you are looking for")
browser.frame(:name, 'viewer').div(:id, dvContents).table(:index, 1).row(:text, subject).exists?
to click on it use .click instead of exists.
once you've clicked it, OWA will refresh the PreviewPane iframe.. inside that iframe is another one that has the message body in it.
all those frames, are nested inside the viewer frame. welcome to nested frame hell. hope you enjoy your stay. (like I said, bone up on frames, you're in for a fun ride)

Passing form data to another form via url in lotus

I am working on a new web app in lotus/domino. I am newer to lotus/domino programming, so forgive me for not knowing something simple.
What I am trying to do is display a table of information, with one of the columns containing a link. The link is formatted like [http://server/app.nsf/form?openform&ideaNum=1&var2=foo2]
How can I retrieve the information from the url, to get information from a view or a document?
So far I have tried to access the query string in the webQueryOpen event, but lotus runs the agent before the DOM writes to the browser, the query_string isn't available.
I am not sure how else to get information from one form to another in lotus.
Thanks for the help.

If you're passing multiple params in the query_string, you can get Domino to do a bit more of the work for you. There's an Function command - UrlQueryString - that can format the params into a list, delimiting at the "&".
E.g. server/app.nsf/form?openform&ideaNum=1&var2=foo2
becomes a list:
openform
ideaNum=1
var2=foo2
To use it, on the destination form create a multi-value text field called something like "QryStringList".
Set it to be computed when composed, and set it's value to #UrlQueryString.
In your WebQueryOpen agent, you can access the params as doc.QryStringList(0), docQryStringList(1) and so on, if you're using Lotusscript.
I'm fairly sure I put this together using info from the IBM/ldd forum, but the exact source is lost in the mists of time and memory, so apologies if I've copied someone's post.
Just as a follow up, I found that you are able to specify an on form variable named the same as QUERY_STRING. The variable is actually a reserved term for Lotus, so Lotus pre-fetches the variable before running the information out the browser.
Due to the pre-fetching, you are able to access the url information during the webQueryOpen event.
I hope this helps someone else looking for the same type of functionality.
