1. Introduction
1.1 Feature Overview
Once you have confirmed the data to collect, create a form and design it to match your requirements.
1.2 Use Cases
Two form types are available. A regular form includes collaboration features and supports permission-based data management. A workflow form includes workflow features and supports workflow design.
There are three ways to create a form:
- Create from blank
- Create from a template
- Create a form from Excel (uses Excel headers as components)
Path: Open the YiDA workbench >> Click My Apps or Create new >> Enter the app editor.
2.1 Steps
(1) On the current App Center page, click Create blank form.
(2) At the top of the left-hand navigation pane of the app, click Create page, then select Create form from the drop-down menu.
Note: After a workflow ends, workflow form data cannot be edited. Plan accordingly.
3. Create from Blank
Design your form from scratch with full customization.
4. Create from a Template
Select a suitable template to quickly create a form that fits your needs.
5. Create from Excel
Prepare an Excel spreadsheet locally, then import it directly into YiDA.
Path: Click the target app >> Create form >> Import from Excel.
Import a form from Excel.
Upload the spreadsheet data.
For details on bulk import, see Bulk import.
- The app must be published before import. For details, refer to Enable or disable an app.
- Forms are typically used to collect data and do not include an approval process on submission. If you need approval process capabilities, use a workflow form.
