Context
As a developer, I’m oftently using the form feature (awesome one by the way, slick and efficient ) for building small feedback forms or for expenses reports.
Frustration
When the responder click on the “submit” button, we currently have two possibilities : show a message or redirect to a specific URL. As shown below, Baserow can interpolate a {row_id} if provided in the URL.
I see small improvements that can be done here :
a very common link I redirect to is the view of the entered row in the Grid view. It would be great to have a button “Redirect to Grid view” directly available, avoiding for the creator of the form to jump out, recover the URL, then jump back and fill it
the “Show message” and “Redirect to URL” are exclusive : it could be interesting to show a message before redirecting to a specific URL
Drawbacks
The current system is crystal clear, adding buttons could clutter the interface
The second need (show message AND redirect) may not be shared among the community
Regarding the idea of having a “Redirect to Grid view” button, we believe that this feature is of lesser importance, given that it’s already possible to access the Grid view by pasting a link. The request was not accepted, and we hope for your understanding
Hi @Karol, you can add a link to the message itself. After reading the message, respondents can click the link to be redirected. Would that work for you?
That’s not exactly what I wanted, this requires one additional user action (and the less, the better in this case), but thanks for letting me know about such workaround!
I hoped there is a way to customize this message shown during redirecting, mostly besause it prints the whole https address in there:
For now, this is the only workaround. However, if you use Application Builder, you can create more advanced user experiences by combining different element actions: Element events
