JetFormBuilder - Save Form Progress Add-on 1.0.3

The JetFormBuilder - Save Form Progress Add-on is a premium extension for the powerful JetFormBuilder plugin, designed to solve the common problem of users losing their input data on long or complex forms.

It is particularly valuable for any form that requires significant time or detail to complete, such as multi-step applications, detailed surveys, quote requests, or complex order forms.

💾 Core Functionality: Data Security

The main purpose of this add-on is to provide an automatic, robust safety net for the user's data:

Autosave: It automatically saves the user's inputted data and progress if the filling process is interrupted. This means if the user accidentally closes the tab, navigates away, or their browser crashes, they can return to the form and continue right where they left off.

Local Storage: The form data is stored locally in the user's browser (Local Storage) and is linked specifically to the form ID.

User Flexibility: It works for both logged-in users and site visitors (guests).

🌟 What Data is Saved

The add-on is comprehensive and saves the state of complex, dynamic elements within the form, including:

Field Values: All standard text, number, and other input field data.

Multi-Step Forms: The progress and the active step are saved, so the user doesn't have to navigate through the previous completed steps again.

Calculations: The results of any calculated fields are pre-saved and can be updated as the user continues to input new data.

Conditional Logic: It saves the triggered conditional fields and their state, ensuring the form remains dynamic upon return.

Uploaded Media: Any media files (images, documents) that the user attached via the form are saved prior to the interruption.

Autocomplete Fields: Data from fields using the Address Autocomplete or Select Autocomplete add-ons is also retained.

🛠️ Configuration and Setup

The feature is very easy to implement once the add-on is installed:

Installation: Install and activate the Save Form Progress Add-on (available with a JetFormBuilder Pro subscription).

Activation: Within the settings of any JetFormBuilder form, a new section called Form Progress appears.

Toggle Switch: You simply enable the "Save form progress" toggle to activate the feature for that specific form.

Clear Data Option: There is usually an option to clear the saved form data after successful submission, which is generally recommended to ensure a clean slate for the next use.

This add-on is invaluable for improving user experience and significantly reducing form abandonment rates on any multi-page or lengthy online process.
