Creating and Configuring Forms 

Use

SAP Composite Forms by Adobe are a convenient way to transfer data across the enterprise, thereby efficiently replacing paper-based processes. Using forms, you can implement various scenarios, as you can use them as steps in processes, or simply as standalone forms for conducting surveys, for example. In addition, you can collect and exchange data using print forms.

This section covers the tasks that a developer needs to perform to use the composite forms in Guided Procedures (GP).

Prerequisites

You have enabled and configured composite forms in Visual Administrator.

By default, GP comes with disabled composite forms.

Procedure

...

       1.      Design a form.

For field-based forms you can create the form in advance as described in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer documentation. For schema-based forms you design the form in the configuration phase.

To enable the form to send data to the Guided Procedures framework, you need to implement specific functions in it.
