I have a need to create a web form in Content Server 9.7.1, what is the best way to do this?
if you have the forms module and plus webforms module it is gui operation.After you install you will get a Form Template option.Then you can add views to the form which can take user input,aesthetixe it,javascript it etc.Documenation for webforms is vailable and examples when you put that module.
The pages of livelink you see are also html forms laced with oscript.Is that what you are looking to do.Then you will need a custom module,your request handler,perhaps weblingo more involved than creating a webform in livelink.
livelink also support pdf forms and even some WYSIWYG kind of form tool called liquid office.
Attached is a miniature webforms/workflows tutorial I created and typed up for Livelink 9.x that goes over the basics. It was originally written at the time Livelink 9.0.0.1 was the current version, but I'm sure much of it should still work for 9.7.1.
Topics covered:
A. Creating a webform template
B. Creating a form based on the template
C. Setting revision and submission mechanisms on the form
D. How revision mechanism of LLVersions works
E. How to set a webform to be a stationary pad so that it creates a new version for each user
F. How forms set up as stationery pads work
G. How to create the workflow
H. How to associate a form with the workflow
I. How to activate the form at given steps, and what views can do for you on the form
J. How to configure the workflow to give a unique name to each instance
K. How to get Livelink to generate a custom message for workflow initiation
L. How to associate the form outside the workflow with the workflow itself
M. How to get the form to initiate the workflow
Additional documentation on webforms (for Livelink 9.7.1) is available here:
