I have a form that a user fills out and saves and it gets assigned an ID number, once the form is saved the user clicks the email button to notify supervisors that they have a form to sign and it tells them what the ID number is so they can find it. Is there a way that i can send a link that will take the supervisor to the correct populated form rather than them needing to lookup the correct form ID number to populate the page?

You can use URL Parameters:

> **[Pages in Perspective | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/pages-in-perspective#passing-parameters-url-parameters)**
>
> Pages are the main method of navigation in Perspective. When talking about pages, there are two distinct objects to be aware of.

The users could be given a link with the ID number which takes them to the populated page.

For example you could feed in:  
localhost:8088/data/perspective/client/FormSubmissions/12345

Going to the URL will use IDNumber parameter to populate the form.

You could also set security on the view so only supervisors can access it (if needed).
