Temporary Guest Accounts Setup

You can set up EX FormFlow to allow people to create a temporary account based on their email address and a password of their choice. The temporary account will let them save and return to partially completed forms, and view previously submitted ones. This will typically be guest users that do not have a campus portal account.

 

This temporary account can only be used for EX FormFlow. It does not let the user access any of the other features in your campus portal.

The password uses the same validation configuration used for your campus portal passwords, but is not a user's campus portal password. Password validations are defined in the campus portal Site Manager > Framework Settings > Security.
