So, I do have some programming skills, rusty though they may be. I am hoping the following question is one that is within my abilities; and, more importantly, the capabilities of Autofill. Currently, I am unemployed. Every time I apply to a company they want me to fill out a Job Application form, with 10 year Work History as required by the Department of Transportation. To say the least, it proves tedious and time consuming to repeatedly fill out these forms that, while very similar, have slightly different phrasing of their questions. Now, the QUESTION: Is it possible to create a profile that would fill out a job application. One of the problems is multiple fields with the same title, i.e., Past Employers wherein a series of questions are ask over and over. If it were possible to create a variable 'visited' then write a If visited, then GoTo, else [complete employer info].
I would imagine this is asking too much of Autofill; if so, could somebody suggest a program capable of what I ask, yet within my limited abilities. Would Roboform be able to achieve this? I would like to thank in advance, anybody willing to take the time to point me in the right direction.
You can use AutoFill Forms to do some of what you want, possibly even as much as 80 percent, but AutoFills is a very simple extension in theory. Basically, it searchs for form fields named something specific or matching a pattern, and fills those fields with text. Autofill Forms doesn't really do any sort of "if/else" processing; however, you can likely accomplish much of what you want by matching fields.
I don't know enough about RoboForm to answer you on that question.
