Work with FileNet P8 eForms
Welcome to the FileNet P8 eForms user help. This help file describes how to work with forms in Workplace.
Business process steps could include the following:
- Save a form to Workplace.
- Print a form.
- Sign and submit a form to your manager.
- Edit form data that you have saved.
- Launch workflow from a form.
You can also take a form offline (download it), work on it in Desktop eForms, and later upload it to Workplace. This is useful if you want to work on a form at a time when you can't connect to the server that stores the form policies.
Form authors create forms and add them to Workplace. In addition to the graphic elements, forms contain fields for you to enter information in. Fields can use intelligence features that make data entry fast and accurate (e.g., it can atuomatically calculate prices, check for errors, look up information, and present lists of choices). A form can also be linked to systems and services used in your organization. For example, you could click a button that would send the completed form to a database. Your organization may also require that forms be signed with a secure digital signature.
Accessibility features
The following features are provided to increase accessibility for eForms users:
- Descriptive text messages have been added to icons on the form and to images in the help topics. These messages are read by screen readers.
- All fields on a form can be accessed by pressing the Tab key.
- Keyboard shortcuts can be used to move to certain fields (for example, tables and signature fields), move to a different page, access the buttons on the form toolbar, and navigate in dialog boxes.
