Form Layout and Workflow Needs

PerfectForms™ Help Guide > Designing a Form > Adding Workflow > Planning Your Workflow >

Build the form layout. The layout must meet two basic needs:

•	Collect all necessary data and information about the process that the user will need to view, decide on, or pull reports from.

•	Identify all triggering events that route the form to the stakeholders.

How Data is Submitted

Stages and notifications in the workflow are often dependent on the submission of the form. In order to submit form data, you must place a button object or other item on the form layout. The steps below describe the submission sequence.

1.	The user prompts a submission through some interaction with a form object. (User clicks the Submit button.)

2.	An event associated with that object (Button is pressed) triggers the behavior.

3.	The Form Submits Data behavior runs.

4.	The workflow runs. If a path condition is met, any behavior command connected to that path (Notify command) runs.

5.	The Form is Closed behavior runs.
