Using a Display Callable Object for Forms

Use

You can use a Form Display callable object as a display callable object for actions where the execution object is a form. It displays the name and description of the form and provides a link for download.

By integrating these two objects in an action, you are able to monitor process flow. You can generate a task for this step to make it accessible in the runtime. If the user has view permissions on the step, he or she can view the display object and download the form itself.
