There are different types of forms: for creating, viewing, and editing a document.
Create form
The create form opens when a user adds a new item of the Document type.
The main area of the form is intended for file upload.
The sidebar features document properties. The set of fields is configured when the app is created.
View form
The view form opens when a user goes to the app page and clicks a document’s name.
The main area of the form shows the preview of the file added when creating the document. The toolbar includes the following controls:
- Download. Download the file to your computer.
- Edit. Modify the document’s text. This button is available for users with editing permissions in the app. Whether the control is shown is managed by the administrator in the widget settings on the item form. Editing files directly in the system requires a Microsoft Office 365 subscription. Alternatively, you can set up an integration with OnlyOffice.
- Print. Download or print the document with a watermark. This control is available only if the Print form option is set up in the app.
You can rotate a document page in the .pdf format using the panel at the bottom of the viewing area.
If a folder tree is set up in the app, you can move the app item from one folder to another. To do that, click on the pencil icon in the top left corner of the form, select a folder and click Move.
Controls in the top right corner allow you to:
- Send the document for information or for approval.
- Add a document version.
Next to these button you can see a link that will take you to form configuration. Click it and switch to the advanced mode to customize the form.
The sidebar displays information that users entered when they created the document, as well as the tasks and the activity stream associated with the document. Additionally, you can view all added versions of the document, with the option to compare versions available for .docx files.
When configuring the form in the advanced mode, you can add widgets for displaying:
- The document registration button.
- Status of the app item.
- Approval sheets and lists of informed users.
Edit form
To open the edit form, go to the app page and click on the document’s name. In the window that opens, click Edit in the bottom left corner.
