+## Wordpress plugin that enabling autofill of Gravity Forms fields with server variables -- 
+
+In this case UW-Madison NetID info, NetID and PVI values (the "P" in PVI is "public). **This is a simple and WIP demo.** Server variable might or might not have these exact names. 
+
+For Gravity Forms docs on the subject, see [https://docs.gravityforms.com/using-dynamic-population/](https://docs.gravityforms.com/using-dynamic-population/)
+
+Jump ahead? Go to edit tab of Gravity Forms, then "advanced tab," check "allow field to be populated dynamically," enter parameter "netid" or "pvi."
+
+This could also be easily done as few lines a code added to the WP theme functions.php file.
