A pre-loader page allows you to display custom information to the users just before they open a form. This is generally used to display welcome messages or a terms & conditions screen. This screen will always have a button to digitally prompt the user to take the required action.
You can either create your own custom pre-loader screen or provide a URL of an external HTML that needs to be displayed prior to accessing the form.
To create a custom pre-loader page,
1. In the Settings screen, from the left pane, select Configure pre loader.
The Apply pre-loader on this form screen is displayed in the right pane.
2. In the right pane, select Create your own preloader page.
The settings for configuring your own pre-loader page are displayed.
