Using sessions to autofill data into your form

This techique provides the designer with many options to integrate lists, cross site lists and even LOB data in a precise from filling scenario. With this approach the form filler selects an item from master list data. In this case the 'Company' details are held in a session while the user is taken to a new page.

Here the 'Company' details are viewed in 'display' mode and the associated 'Contacts' are also linked and shown in a 'Parent' 'Child' relationship.

In this situation we click 'New' to create a new contact in the Charlie Company. We are then taken to the form where the 'Company' details [Company, Location, Time Difference] is already autofilled from the data held in the session.
