Put a form back online
When you've finished working with your form in Desktop eForms and have access
to the network, you can put the form back in Workplace.
To put a form back online
- Log in to Workplace.
- Navigate to Author\General Tools.
- Click Bring Form Online.
- Click Browse and navigate to the form on
your local machine. It will be in My Documents\My Forms\Drafts in a subfolder
that's named according to the policy name (e.g., Expenses). The form's extension
is ".ofd."
- Click Continue.
- Policies are designed to meet business requirements. Depending on how the
policy for your form was designed, take one of the following actions:
- If the Add Document page displays:
- In the Document Title field, enter a name for the form and click Finish.
- Click OK to close the Add Confirmation
page.
- If the completed form displays:
- Review your filled-out form. If there are any
lookup cells on the form, fill them in and tab out to trigger the lookups.
- If there is a Submit button on the form, click
it; otherwise, click Save. If you haven't filled out all the required
information, an alert message is displayed when you try to submit or save
the form.
- If the form is associated with a workflow:
- The form opens and a Launch button displays in the toolbar. Click Launch.
- Click OK to close the Add Confirmation page.
- If an error message displays:
- The error message explains that a newer version of the policy exists
and you must take the new version offline and fill it in.
- Click Close Window.
