Creating Forms for forms workflow

Designer can create form designs that are used in AEM forms applications. An application is a solution that consists of a process and its associated assets (form design, images, and fragments), which represent an automated process. An AEM forms application is typically developed in Workbench. To learn more about creating a AEM forms application, go to Creating Your First AEM forms Application .

Workspace is the browser-based component of forms workflow, which lets end users participate in automated form-based business processes. Using workspace, users can perform these tasks:

• Fill forms that initiate a business process.

• Open forms that have been routed to the user or to a group queue to review, approve, or provide more information.

• Search for forms that are part of a completed business process or active processes that the user has initiated or participated in.

  Suppose a business process involves the handling of mortgage applications. A form developer creates the form design for use in the process, which is created in Workbench. Then, mortgage applicants can fill the application form electronically by using Workspace. A loan officer or bank manager can also approve the application using Workspace.

  With forms workflow, you can render a form design to a client in these output types:

• HTML

• PDF

• Note: To use a form that was created in Acrobat in Workspace, you must use Acrobat to prepare the form design. For instructions, see “Leveraging Acrobat forms in Workspace” in Application Development Using Workbench.
