Selecting output options

Prev Next

Select a store dialog that will be used for archiving the submitted forms.

The configuration steps vary slightly depending on how you submit the form - see also the previous step Submitting forms.

Select file cabinet and store dialog

Select a store dialog to save the filled-out form. The file cabinet is specified in parentheses after the dialog.

In addition to that, the index fields of the dialog are used in the next step to index the form.

The user filling out the form does not see the store dialog. However, he/she must also be assigned the store dialog.

Define PDF properties

This section is only visible if you have chosen Merge Form for submission

Merge Forms can be protected so that they cannot be changed after they have been stored in the file cabinet. For this, select the storage option Generate flattened PDF (non-editable).

Show values from hidden fields on PDF: Specify whether or not to transfer content from fields hidden in the web form to the form template. The feature is turned off by default for new forms.

However, the feature is enabled by default for existing forms (DocuWare version 7.8 or earlier). This ensures that the behavior does not change with the update to DocuWare Version 7.9.

Attachments

This section is only visible if you have chosen Merge Form for submission and if the form contains at least one attachment.

Attachments entered into a web form can be distributed to various users using Merge Forms. However, files which are not relevant to all recipients are often attached to the Web Form. Only activate the fields containing attachments that you wish to save with the current Merge Form.

All of the Web Form's attachment fields are displayed here – including the fields that were added in earlier DocuWare versions. All attachments are enabled by default.

An attachment must be selected for at least one Merge Form. If there is only one Merge Form, the attachments cannot be disabled – they will be saved as well in any case.
