Creating a Web Form

Create your form by adding controls, customizing their appearance and layout, and adding rules affecting the behavior of the form.

You can also create a Web Form using a customized web page. You need to deploy the customized web page on the same server where Adeptia Connect is deployed to use it in Adeptia Connect.

After creating a Web Form, you can grant an access to the form to your Partners and also you can use the form as a Source while creating a Template.  

Prerequisites

Before creating a Web Form, you must meet the following requirements:

• Ensure that you have /wiki/spaces/AC2/pages/656886 to access Web Forms in Adeptia Connect.
• Ensure that you have designed a Web Form using Snecha Architect.

Follow these steps to create a Web Form in Adeptia Connect:

1. Click Configure > Web Forms > CREATE Web Form.
   
   
   
   
2. On the Create Web Form window, provide a unique Web Form name and brief description.
   
   
   
   
3. Select the type of form you want to create from the Select Type - Web Page and Transaction/Template

   Web Page: Select this option to use web form as a submenu in the existing tabs.

      Option Name	Description
      For company	Only Company can access this form.
      For partner	Only Partners can access this form. On selecting this option, you need to select the Network. Only Partners of the selected Network can be granted an access to this form.

   2. Select the place where you want the form from the Navigation Path. Depending upon the chosen navigation, the form will appear as a submenu on the selected screen.
