# Example: Query Data Stored in Web Entries

Follow an example that uses the Allow Query String Data setting for Web Entries in Start Event elements.

## Overview

This example demonstrates how to configure [Web Entry in Start Events](/v1/docs/start-event#web-entry-panel-settings). Save your query string information in the [Request data](/v1/docs/request-data-and-json) by using the **Allow query string data** setting. This use case can be useful when sharing a Web Entry with multiple participating stakeholders: the shared query string data is stored for different countries as this example demonstrates. If you do not want to show the URL information that could result complex to the users, with this use case you can embed the Web Entry in a HTML file.

Follow these guidelines to use the **Allow query string data** setting for a Web Entry in a [Start Event](/v1/docs/start-event) element:

1. Design a [Form-type](/v1/docs/screens#form-1) Screen with two [Line Input](/v1/docs/line-input-control) controls and a [Submit Button](/v1/docs/submit-button-control) control.
2. Use the **Variable Name** setting values for the Line Input controls as **Code** and **Name** respectively as shown below. For this example, exclude the value for the Line Input control that has the **Variable Name** setting `Code`.

3. Design a Process with the following elements:

  - [Start Event](/v1/docs/start-event) element using Web Entry
  - [Form Task](/v1/docs/form-task) element
  - [End Event](/v1/docs/end-event) element

4. Assign your created Screen to the Start Event element as Web Entry and the Form Task element.
5. Configure the Web Entry in the Start Event element as follows:

  1. In the **Mode** setting, select **Anonymous**.
  2. In the **Screen Associated** setting, select a Screen to display for the Web Entry Task.
  3. In the **Completed Action** setting, select **Screen**.
  4. In the **Screen For Completed** setting, select a Screen that displays after the Web Entry Task is submitted.
  5. Select the **Allow query string data** setting to automatically save your string data information when running a Request. Otherwise, additional information in the URL is not stored.
  6. In the **Web Entry URL** setting, click **Copy** to use the URL to start a Request.

  7. Start a Request of this Process.

When starting a Request through this Start Event element using the **Allow query string data** setting in this example, the Web Entry uses the following URL `https://{ServerURL}/webentry/15/node_9?country=usa`. `{ServerURL}` is the name of the ProcessMaker Platform instance. The information after the quotation mark `country=usa` stores in the **Data** section as follows:

Below is an example of an HTML file with the embedded code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="frame-ancestors http://{ServerURL}">
