Limitations and Considerations

  • To Revoke a QR Code/Link, simply delete it by selecting the delete button. 
  • Notice that anyone with the link URL or QR Code to submit a form will be able to see all fields within the form. 
    This includes ‘person’ picker fields that search across your list of Users and Contacts and the corresponding employee details. 
  • Form fields that require a selection of a person from the User and Contacts will still apply to anonymous forms. 
  • Anonymous submitters lose access to the form once submitted, and there is no option to save a draft in anonymous mode.
