Forms submission

Specify how the form is stored. Different steps follow depending on the option.

1. Store as web form

The filled out form is stored as a PDF document in the layout of the web form.

Go to "Web Form" steps

2. Store as merge form

Émbed an existing merge form. The user fills out the web form. The data is transferred to the merge form and stored as a PDF document in the layout of the merge form. In this case the web form is not archived.

You can also link several merge forms with one web form. The filled out merge forms are each stored as individual PDFs.

If you want to fill out an empty form field within a workflow, this form must be linked to a template. The following steps are required to include a form field in a workflow:

  1. You create a merge form.

  2. In the merge form designer, drag a fill area. Do NOT link this fill area to a web form field. The fill area is displayed as a field in the task mask of a workflow and is filled in there.

  3. Activate the option Fillable PDF under Merge Forms - Output.

If you use a merge form, DocuWare Forms needs the System Storage Path for temporarily storing the merge forms.
