eForm Builder is the tool you use to create your own eForms. It's a WYSIWYG tool, and you drag and drop elements (and arrange them) to create an eForm.

Here are some eForm Builder features.

 

Description

1

Elements are listed here—under Basic or Advanced sections. Drag them to the right to add to the eForm.

Tip: Quick Start Library contains pre-configured element sets to jump start building an eForm.

Close: Closes the eForm Builder. Before closing, you are prompted to save.

Save: Saves your work. If any fields are not fully configured, you must deal with them before you can save your eForm.

Preview: Saves your eForm and opens a preview in a new browser window. These options are available in preview mode:

  • Print: Shows how the eForm will look when printed. (It is rendered in another browser window.) Requires you to fill in required fields. Otherwise, an error message appears.
  • Save: Saves data you entered in the eForm while in preview mode. Data is not saved to the actual eForm and is removed when you return to the eForm editor.
  • Delete: Deletes any data you saved in preview mode. When you preview the eForm again, the default blank eForm is shown.

This is the eForm display name, which you can change. Display name shows in eForm lists, task instructions, and eForm Report.
