This guide takes you through step by step instructions to create a Leave Approval Workflow. This tutorial uses the form you created in the Getting Started with Forms tutorial.

...

Using Live Forms, you can automate this workflow so that it is completely electronic and paperless. Further, you can integrate the workflow with Google Apps, a document management system such as Digitech ImageSilo/PVE, your database or custom business system so that the leave approvals are stored online.

...

 A  great way to test your workflow is to use a  space. A space is a frevvo website that is very easy to create. Your deployed forms/workflows are automatically added. Follow these steps to create the space:
