How to allow multiple entries for multipage form?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am trying to build a multipage enrollment form that collects parent and prospective student information. The first form collects the information of the parent submitting the enrollment form. The second page collects information about the student being enrolled. The third page collects emergency contact info. The fourth asks parents to sign and agree to the disclosures and program requirements.

 

The forms themselves have been collecting data from entries just fine. Here's my question: How can I allow the parent to enroll multiple children at once without needing to completely go through and complete the entire form for each child?

 

The goal is both to expedite the process for parents with multiple children and to tie multiple children to the same parent. The parent table includes an autonumber "parent key." Resubmitting the entire multiform means that parent will be assigned a different "parent key" for each child they enroll, which defeats the purpose of having a "parent key" in the first place.

 

Any help would be greatly apppreciated!

    Put a subgrid on the form the Children (and configure a metadata record for the subgrid to allow create and edit).

    Thank you very much for your response! I am still a beginner with Power Pages. I'm passingly familiar with subgrids, but I have no experience with metadata records. Can you provide a bit of clarification, or do you know of a tutorial, blog, or some other media that could provide some insight? Every search I have tried is either unrelated or a part of a whole I don't yet know how to piece together. This is fully on me; I'm just not there yet with my knowledge.

    Basically you add a Subgrid to the Dataverse form.  Then on the Power Pages / Portal Basic Form or Multistep Form Step you open the Portal/Power Pages Management App (or open the app and then find the form) and then configure a metadata record for the form https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/configure-basic-form-metadata
