Tell us what you are trying to do ?
I need to make a form for school application with some basic fields but more than what is offered in the generate CRED form, where the info collected would display in the post but not to be seen publicly, but only those with the granted permission. The students would send additional non public information about them. the goal is to make this new applying student part of my website. Since I would need more detailed personal info, it needed to be stored but available to be viewed when needed or displayed in a page/post for printing.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Is there a similar example that we can see?
I have seen the ticket #300107 where Beda mentions the option to make the form by parts and then add a form to edit content to the first short form. My questions are:
1) If I add generic fields to the CRED form, will those fields display in any given post?
2) is it possible to make the multi step / pagination using the Visual Composer page builder then I make a button to advance to the next page and continue to adding to the form? The additional fields needed to display in the same page as a view added to the first form. I would then use the info collected
Thanks
What is the link to your site?
Multistep Forms are not supported in Toolset Forms but there is a request here:
https://toolset.com/feature-request/create-multistep-forms-with-toolset-forms/
You will be able to upvote it here in about a day: https://toolset.com/feature-request/
(Older requests are imported and updated there as we speak)
- If I add generic fields to the CRED form, will those fields display in any given post
Generic Fields only persist (are saved) if you manually set persist:1 in those Fields.
Then, those fields will be saved against the post or user-edited as native WordPress Fields.
You can later display them with wpv-post-field or some get_post_meta().
However generally Generic Fields are not saved, but can be saved if it's needed to be displayed later.

I believe not
Thanks for the response it was helpful.
if the same topic of forms, if I have an user with permission to create a content, can that member user save that content to his/her account using a form? the content of the form may differ but the form is not affected by any changes.
Scenario:
I have a course offered to be taught by various instuctors. The course has a main structure saved in the CMS, but instructors are tasked to create a syllabus addapting the course to their style and length. The course has a set 20hrs length. Syllabus can be created using a whole day course, one week, two weeks or twenty days structure for that matter. The syllabus maker form has custom fieds and repetable fields to suit the schedule of the instructor. As the instructor access the syllabus maker, he then creates from the available content a new syllabus (custom fields), but this syllabus needed to be generated or saved into the instructor account since other instructors will use the same syllabus maker form to generate a course syllabus with different class schedules and supplement materials. The main course trunk is not affected, just the amount of branchs are different.
So my question is, using this scenario, can the instructor save the results of that form into their account or area? Will I need to make use of a file manager system in order to allow it to happen?. If other pluggins are needed, can they manipulate the pages without interfering in the output of a content in any given page? Can I use/integrate ARForms pluggin from Visual Composer/WPBakery to create a view in toolset? I say this because Toolset is a very powerful plugin and has a vast array of tools for imense array of applications.
Thanks
These are questions that we could handle in a new ticket each.
They are not related to multistep forms and the specific question on generic fields or visual composer to design them.
I can give a short answer to all of them:
1. can the instructor save the results of that form into their account or area?
No, user forms are for users and post forms for posts.
You will need custom code to send data from A to B.
That's possible but needs a new ticket to show you how - the code for it you would have to write yourself but we can show what to use and how.
2. Will I need to make use of a file manager system in order to allow it to happen?.
I am not sure what a File Manager is in this relation, however, no plugin I know will let you store data from random post to random user just like that, it may be restricted to specific areas, such as sensei plugin for example stores student scores (user data) for exams (posts).
3. If other pluggins are needed, can they manipulate the pages without interfering in the output of a content in any given page?
I am not sure, you would have to ask the developers of the plugins you envision.
4. Can I use/integrate ARForms pluggin from Visual Composer/WPBakery to create a view in toolset?
You can create Views' Loop Template and Content Templates with Visual Composer.
