Who is this intended for?

This extension is predominately aimed at professionals/IT departments where data entry via web submission using forms is common. This extension makes it possible to automate aspects of these submissions.

Subscription requirements and usage

A subscription is required to use this extension; your subscription is used for various operations. On sign-up we email you credentials to access the Jorm Admin Portal used to manage aspects of your account including:

  • Portal: Allow your organisations administrator/IT department to centrally manage origins/hosts allowed by the plugin.
    • Extension users will be prompted by a notification to approve new origins; this is important and is a requirement under Manifest v3 and ensures only origins you approve can be accessed by the extension.
    • Provisioning support for deploying the extension within your organisation.
  • Request new URL indexing jobs.
    • We re-index forms ensuring that the mapping information is synced.
  • Sync changes to extensions users under your account.
  • Generate authentication tokens for use with the extension.
  • CRM/Integration helper: Generate template URL’s with placeholder query parameter’s.

Extension permission requirements explained

Here is a breakdown on extension permissions how we use them:

  • scripting
    Enables the extension to inject a content script and stylesheet on optional_host_permissions matches from webNavigation. The injected script perform the autofill task.
  • webNavigation
    Extract URI parameters from a URL, caches them so that the extension can populate form fields based on the ID’s. This permission is used to identify when a tab matches a approved origin then performs the following operations: strip the URI params, cache them and redirect to the same URL without the URI params.
    Only matches origins/domains the user has approved.
  • storage
    Temporarily stores extracted URI params to local storage; once the form field have been populated by ID it is cleared.
    Other settings store include auth token and cached mappings.
  • contextMenus
    Used to add two right click menu entries to extension icon; one for the main status page, the other for the settings page.
  • tabs
    Used to send a message when a tab url matches an approved origin and has a cached data mapping stored locally. When it is a match it triggers the formFill functionality.
  • alarms
    Used to schedule form data mapping updates for hosts present on the users account.
  • notifications
    Used to indicate authorisation is required for plugin use; renders a notification for scenarios such as when there is no account configured or the subscription may have expired.
  • host and/or optional_host_permissions
    This is used to allow the extension to run on domains that the users has linked to their account; these are cached locally under option userDomains.

All origins require that the user approve them through user interaction; where approval is required the extension will trigger a notification to inform the user where that user interaction is required.

What this extension does not do

  • This extension does not complete ReCaptcha’s.
  • This extension does not automatically submit the form. You are encouraged to review any data auto-filled (more-so on larger more complex forms).
  • This extension does not handle file attachments.
    • Although possible and based on real-trials; the biggest limitation is with a web browsers address bar length (URL length). Different browsers (even Chromium variants) have differing limits.
      • If files were enable; the contents of the file would have to be encoded and generally that increases the size and will quickly if not outright consume the available character length limit.
      • Note that this

Organisations/Users migrating from private/unlisted alpha

There are several significant changes to September’s 2024 release:

  • Jorm now requires an account and active subscription for continued use.
  • Jorm no longer exclusively matches on a single origin: https://financial-ombudsman.egressforms.com/ and now uses a dynamic host (i.e. origin’s) system that account owners manage under their account through the portal.
    • Once a domain is linked/mapped under your account; it is synced to authenticated Chrome extensions.
    • Google’s Chrome Extension Manifest v3 brings significant changes to the permission system; in the name of security Jorm’s design deliberately avoids requesting to match on every host (origin) and instead chooses to use the `optional_host_permissions` to ensure the user approves the new origin. The extension will notify the user through various means.
      • Vigilant administrators/IT departments when submitting a new url and building their URL maps internally are advised to notify users to approve the origin. Prior to going live with any workflow implementations.
  • Provisioning support is now available which enables administrators to send links that allow users to authenticate the extension.

If you do have any issues please reach out to us via our contact page or existing clients may contact our support desk and we will try to remedy your issue.
