Autofill Form for Address and Names

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All,

I have designed a form on a pharmacy website where staff listen to voicemails and enter patients details into a form on the website. This form then sends an email to the dispensing staff. Repeat customers call every few days and we wanted to automate the completion of the form possibly by the browser using autofill. Chrome and Microsoft Edge only autofill the first 'name' field and you have to manually click into the phone number and address field and start typing to get suggestions for the completed answer.

It seems the system or browser remembers previous entries however does not have the ability to autofill the whole form with name address and phone number? 

Is there any way to design the form to be more browser friendly so chrome or edge can recognize the autofill pattern and autocomplete the whole form rather than one entry - based on past entries of this form. An example of this would be that the user starts typing the patients first name, after a few letters they select the correct patient from the drop down menu, select, then the whole form is completed based on the most recent form entry?

Thanks in advance,

Rory

Personally, I do not recommend using Squarespace Forms for this purpose as they have not been designed to process medical data (including prescriptions). I appreciate this isn't the answer you were looking for but let me know if you need more information.
