Auto populate data and allow customers to update

Hi! I work for a membership based trade association and I'm trying to build a form that would allow me to share profile information on file with our customers (member companies) and then allow them to update outdated information. For example, I would auto populate contact information, # of employees, etc. and they would indicate if the information was accurate (or not, by providing updates).

I could always send them a blank form requesting the information and match responses against our records, but that's a lot of extra (and seemingly needless) manual work. Plus I think our response rates will be higher if they only need to update what's inaccurate.

Make sense? Thanks for any help you all can provide!

    Hi @Joseph Burak

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Three options come to mind.

    1. Dynamic View
    2. Automatic recurring Update Request asking them for new information.
    3. If they have a member number, we could structure a solution to request an update when needed.

    Would any of those options work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
