Examples

In this example, we track the duration in milliseconds between the time when a form is opened and the time the final form step (the Thank You screen) is displayed.

In the first form step's afterGenerate.js script, we define a variable called start that holds the current time:

Copy 
formData.setAdditionalValue('start', new Date());

In the last form step's afterGenerate.js script, we save the duration in milliseconds passed since the first form step was opened in the elapsedTime attribute of the current record.

Copy 
formData.model.elapsedTime = (new Date() - formData.getAdditionalValue('start'));

For details on how to read an object that was defined in a preceding form step, see formData.getAdditionalValue.

For details on how to access the current record's attribute values, see formData.model.
