Feature Details
Ability to Use URL Parameter Flags
Benefits
This enhancement enables users to set URL parameters to read-only, hide them, or make them editable, when rendering intake forms.
Details
A new Enable URL Params checkbox is added to the Publish tab, which allows users to enable or disable the use of URL parameters.
Users can now add the following URL parameter flags as extensions to the default URL:
- e - editable
- r - read only
- h - hidden
- d - not hidden (display)
- q - required
- n - not required
Users can click the URL Parameters button in the Publish tab to get the specific form field identifier value(s), then add the URL parameter flag. Then, users can find the instructions on how to build the parameters by clicking the Configuration Guidelines button.
URL parameters take precedence over the Form Builder settings in determining the form field behavior. Fields that are always required cannot have URL Parameters for “Not Required,”“Read Onlys,” and “Hidden” states.

Sample format: &<form_field_id>_<flags>
For example, to pass value to the Email form field with ID 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000001003 and make it read only, you can specify 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000001003_r.

Ability to Receive Email Bounce Back Notifications
Benefits
Assignees of a request or a task can now receive notifications if emails sent from the request or task bounce back. This feature enables users to inform the recipient through alternative methods or resending the notification.
Details
Users will now receive notifications in the Comment section of the request or task indicating the type of notification that bounced back and the recipient. Notifications that bounce back will be handled based on the recipient:
- If the notification is for the request assignee and it bounces back, a comment will be added to the request to inform the request assignee.
- If the email to the request assignee also bounces back, admins will be notified through email.
- If the email to admins bounces back, a comment will be added without sending another email to avoid an infinite loop.
- If the email to the Data Subject fails or bounces back, it will be added to the activity log.
- If the notification is for a task assignee and it bounces back, it will be recorded via task comment.

Ability to Add a Favicon Logo in the Intake Form
Benefits
This enhancement enables users to display their brand logo by adding a Favicon Logo in their intake form.
Details
Users now have the ability to optionally add their Favicon Logo in the Display Details section of the Intake Form Details tab. They can use an image URL as the source for the favicon image. When the users render the intake form, the favicon that they added will dynamically reflect on the form. Note that the Favicon Logo is not a mandatory field and only version 2 and migrated forms are supported.
