Distinguish device that fills out a form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hi,

Im building a flow right now for generating a WiFi PPSK for every visitor that comes in and integrate that into our visitor overview list for the receptions. I have successfully built a form and according flow that takes the data out of the form and provides it for the PPSK generation. 

 

Now we want to also print out the PPSK for the user, but need to differenciate between two printers, according to the location the guest signs in. Whats the best way to do that? I dont want to use different forms, becaues Im using the Answer-ID as identifier for the user in the PPSK system (has to be distinct) and the timestamp including the : doesnt work as filename.

 

Thats the part of the flow I need to distinguish from which tablet the answer comes:

    Im not entirely shure about that, but we could add two users for each tablet to see which one filled out the form. Right now I built a workaround with 2 forms and 2 flows, that set a parameter to differentiate between the entrace thats being used to sign up. Not the most pretty way, but for the start it works.

    Hi @psg234,

     

    Just to double check. Is the entry within this form anonymously or are you using a signed in service account or something similar?
