GatedContent uses two different types of prepopulation; browser-based and external. GatedContent can store submission data in the users browser for use in prepopualtion on subsequent form submissions. This can be configured for each field, for more information check out the managing fields article. GatedContent can also pull external data from various marketing automation platforms for use in prepopulation, these are specific to each integration and you can find more information here. Once external data has been retrieved, it's then also added to the browser storage for faster retrieval in subsequent page loads.
In some cases, it may be necessary to disable prepopulation on a specific gate, to achieve this GatedContent provides two methods: Kiosk Mode and Express Mode.
Kiosk Mode
When collecting newsletter registrations at a real-life event, Kiosk Mode means that you will not need to clear the form after every submission. Simply navigate to the relevant form and open the gate editor. On the form tab, check the Kiosk mode functionality and save the gate.
Express Mode
Express mode will stop a gate waiting for external pre-population data before displaying. This can be used on key, highly visible gates to speed up gate loading times, but means that the gate may not pre-populate from external sources (e.g. geo-ip, marketing automation platforms etc.). Browser based prepopulation will function as usual.
To activate express mode, simply navigate to the relevant form and open the gate editor. On the form tab, check the Express Mode functionality and save the gate.
