As a forms author, you’ll want to know which forms are published, which forms already have translations and which forms have received submissions.
The Forms area, where you manage your forms, lets you keep track of all of these activities.
Learn more here about how to manage your forms, and how things like form statuses work and what the various folders are used for.
You use the Forms area to create and manage your forms. Depending on your requirements, you can have all of your forms displayed or just the forms from individual folders, the archive or the recycle bin. A clearly structured list of your forms is shown, which includes the name of the form as well as other important items of information. You can also create new folders in this area and therefore set up your own filing system.
A form has one of several statuses. You can view the current status for a form in the overview in the Forms area. There are 4 statuses.
If you need more structure, that’s no problem with Formcentric. Create your own folders and organise your forms just as you want. You can create a structure based on applications, process owners or languages, for example.
If you have a form that you use a lot, you can add it to your Favourites, which makes it quicker and easier to access. Forms that you add to your favourites can be found in the default Favourites folder. You can also sort your forms by favourites so that they are displayed first in the overview.
If you have a form that you do not need at the moment but do not want to delete, you can move this form to the Archive. Once it has been archived, a form will not be displayed in the main All forms overview or in any other folder. You can restore the form from the Archive if you need it at a later point in time.
You have a form that is in the Archive and you want to use it again? To be able to use a form from the Archive, you have to restore it.
If you have forms that you provide in several languages and have created in Formcentric as translations of each other, you can unlink these forms whenever you want to. After unlinking, the forms that were previously used as translations of other forms are no longer used as translations.
You can delete a form that you no longer need. At first, the form is not deleted permanently but is moved to the recycle bin. If you later decide that you do want to keep your form, you can then restore your form. To delete a form permanently, you can either delete the form from the recycle bin or you can empty the recycle bin – which permanently deletes everything in it.
