If you have the appropriate rights, you can create new form templates and questionnaires. As part of this process, you specify the users and resources that can activate the form and complete it. You also specify the users and/or resources that are to receive the completed form.

The Form Configuration page shows the title and description of each form. It also indicates whether the form is configured and/or active. The workflow differs based on the option options you choose from each of the following fields:in the Form Activation

and Completed Form Delivery fields.

Image Added

Refer to the appropriate procedure based on the form activation option you choose.

Your next step when creating a new form template is to configure your form's questionnaire.

Note the following about form creation:

  • Refer to About Form Configuration for detailed field definitions.

  • In these procedures, when you need to specify users and/or resources who are responsible for the form, you can use the search fields toward the top of the page to search by role, resource type, and/or user ID.

  • Typically, a form is completed by a user or a resource, not both. If you specify both, the system delivers it to both. This means the user can receive duplicate forms—one directed to the user and a second to the user's resource.
