Activating a form means that you are activating it so you can complete it yourself or sending it to another user or a resource to complete. If you have this authority, Activate Form is an option in your Form menu.
Tip: Your administrator may have set up an icon you can use to launch a form.
Typically, a form is completed by a user or a resource, not both. If you specify both, the system delivers it to both.
Forms that you send to be filled out by others may require you to designate recipient(s). Use the search fields at the top of the activation section to locate users.
Other forms already have recipients set up; in these cases, the system does not ask you to designate recipients.
Refer to About Forms for more details on activation options.
