User account prefill

You may wish to save customers time by prefilling personal information questions with data they provided when signing up to your website.

If they entered their name and email when registering for an account, we can use this information to populate some questions, so the customer doesn't need to fill these in.

To configure this:

1. In your form, click the Advanced tab in the top navigation bar and then select Prefills.
2. Click the Add Prefill button. The create interface will open.
3. Select the question to be prefilled.
4. Select one of the User variables as the place to get the value of the prefill from, e.g. User - Forename.
5. Click the Save button to save your changes. The prefill will be created and added to the list.

tip

Questions prefilled with account information may be empty when the form is started. This happens for one of two reasons:

• the customer is not signed in
• when they registered, the customer omitted certain pieces of personal data.

In such situations, customers can still enter their details into these questions as usual.
