Each row in the table includes the following information about each incomplete submission:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Form ID<\/li>\n<li>Date\/time created<\/li>\n<li>Email address (only available if user emailed recovery link to themselves)<\/li>\n<li>IP address<\/li>\n<li>UUID (this is the \u201cpassword\u201d users use to pick up where they left off)<\/li>\n<li>A \u201cView Entry\u201d link (this is what you give the form submitter who lost their URL)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This plugin does not provide an admin interface to manipulate incomplete submissions, but you can click the \u201cView Entry\u201d link to edit submissions on the front-end, just like a user returning to finish an incomplete form could.<\/p>\n\n<p>For more advanced functionality related to incomplete submissions in Gravity Forms, I suggest looking into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gravityforms.com\/add-ons\/partial-entries\/\">Partial Entries add-on<\/a>, available to Gravity Forms Developer License holders.<\/p>\n\n<p>The idea behind this plugin is to provide a very basic way of recovering \u201cSave and Continue\u201d links without having to search the database directly, and nothing more.<\/p>\n\n<p>Please note that Gravity Forms is a commercial plugin, which I am not affiliated with in any way.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin files to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/save-and-continue-link-recovery-for-gravity-forms<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Find the \u201cSave and Continue Link Recovery\u201d admin page under the \u201cTools\u201d menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>Installation Instructions<\/dt>\n<dd><ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin files to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/save-and-continue-link-recovery-for-gravity-forms<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Find the \u201cSave and Continue Link Recovery\u201d admin page under the \u201cTools\u201d menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n<dt>Why can I activate this plugin when Gravity Forms is not even installed?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Technically, this plugin does not require Gravity Forms to function. All it does it read a database table that Gravity Forms uses to store incomplete submissions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Since that database table may persist even after Gravity Forms is deleted, I decided to not require Gravity Forms\u2019s presence to use it.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Can I use this plugin to recover Save and Continue links for other forms plugins?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. This only works for Gravity Forms. Other forms plugins may handle Save and Continue links in different ways.<\/p>\n\n<p>If I ever come across a similar need for another form plugin, I\u2019ll make a new plugin just for that. This one will only ever work with Gravity Forms.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>2.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Works with Gravity Forms 2.3.x which changed the database table name for incomplete submissions.
