Configuring Form Use and Data Processing Options 

Use

Guided Procedures (GP) offers possibilities to use SAP Composite Forms by Adobe in different scenarios. You can include them in GP process steps, create print forms, start a process upon form completion, and so on. In addition, you can configure external applications that process the data retrieved from the form.

To enable the required functionality, you need to set the configuration options for the form object.

Prerequisites

If you want to configure external applications for data processing, the applications must be deployed to the GP system.

Procedure

...

       1.      Create your composite form object.

More information: Creating Form Objects in the GP Design Time

You can configure the use options in the Configuration screen of the wizard for creating a new object. If you want to do that, proceed to step 3.

If you want to create the object first and then add the configuration options, execute step 2 as well.

       2.      Open the form object definition in the GP design time, switch to edit mode using  (Edit), and open the Configuration tab page.

       3.      Select one or more of the following form use options:

○       Enable Use in Guided Procedures

Enable this option if you want to use the form as a GP process step.

○       Start Process on Completion

Enable this option to start a GP process when the form is submitted.

Using the Browse Process Template, select an active process template for initiation. It must satisfy the following conditions:

■       All built-in and custom roles should be set to Initiation Defined.

■       All roles should have a default user assignment.

You can use the form’s output as an input for the process. Map the relevant form and process parameters using Define Mapping.

If the process template has been modified, and the selected version is deprecated, use Update Process Template to switch to the latest version.

○       Choose E-Mail Template

Use this option to select a custom template for the composite form mail messages.

○       Define Timeout

Use this option to define form validity period. Choose Define Timeout to specify how long the form shall be valid.

You may configure a service that is executed upon form expiry. To select an active service callable object, choose Browse Service Template. Optionally, you can map form and service parameters to use the data from the form context for the service execution. To do this, choose Define Mapping.

○       Provide an Impersonalized Composite Form

Use this option to create a form that is not associated to a specific user context at runtime. The form is executed anonymously.

Impersonalized forms are managed using the Administration workset.

More information: Managing Impersonalized Forms.

○       Dynamic Form

Enable this option if you have designed your form so that it can be dynamically extended with more fields at runtime.

More information: Designing Dynamic Forms.

Result

Your form object is configured and you can activate it using  (Activate).
