Prefilling form fields is a way to pre-populate form fields with default values. This can be useful when you want to save time for users by prefilling some fields with default values. The prefilled fields and their values are visible in the URL of the form view & can be manually constructed by ensuring URL parameters are appropriately encoded.

## Pre-Filling Form Fields
NocoDB offers a convenient feature that allows pre-filling form fields with specific values by setting URL parameters. This functionality enables the creation of custom URLs with desired field values, streamlining data entry and enhancing user experience.
To construct a pre-filled form URL manually, ensure that the URL parameters are appropriately encoded in the following format: `?key1=value1&key2=value2`.
For instance, the URL `https://wh8s5w.noco.to/#/nc/form/66da06-f074-47af-ace7-fde46df55?Status=Qualification&Priority=Very+high` pre-fills the `Status` field with `Qualification` and the `Priority` field with `Very high`.
NocoDB provides an intuitive alternative approach to generate pre-filled URLs through the form builder.
1. Open the form builder and pre-fill the required form fields with the desired values.
2. Click on the `Share` button located in the top right corner.
3. Toggle the `Enable Public Viewing` button to enable sharing.
4. Toggle the `Enable Prefill` button to enable pre-filling.
5. Click on the `Copy Link` button to copy the pre-filled URL.
