Forms/Surveys can be published to the Participant Portal. This launch method is commonly used if you want your respondents to access all the forms published to them in one place.To launch a desired Form/Survey (enhanced offline support) to the portal, go to the Launch page and select the Publish to the User Portal and Mobile App option.

b. Auto Republish when contacts selection changes - this option enables automatic publishing of forms to the new contacts that match selected criteria, as well as removing access to forms ("un-publishing") for the contacts that no longer match the group filters criteria (due to filter or contact changes).If 'Auto Republish when contacts selection changes' option is not checked, and the contacts' selection change manually after the form has been published to the Participant Portal, saving new Filters will republish the form to the new group of contacts. Any changes to the filters will not take effect until you click 'Save Filters'/ 'Save Filters and Republish' button.
Click the Setup Data Flow button, apply field mappings and data flow direction, to prefill the form with the data stored in the contact manager or update selected contacts with the new information from the submitted response.

When respondents change their living address, job position, email and other personal details, you can update contact records with the up-to-date information. You can also prepopulate survey questions with the data from the Contact Manager.
