Using forms to process workflows provides many benefits.
- Include all the features of document forms and allow tight integration
with workflows.
- Automatically map values in the form to workflow data fields for
use in process decisions.
- Map values from workflow data fields to form fields to prefill
the form with process-specific data.
- Act as the user interface to workflow steps:
- Features such as data checking and error messages make the workflow
process easy to manage for the user and minimize data entry errors.
- Fields on the form can be linked to workflow data fields without
having to write HTML code and JavaScript.
- Page display can be controlled at each workflow step.
