    Info

    Publishing templates is a two-step process where the designer publishes the form/workflow, then the tenant admin makes it public. This process must be done from frevvo (not in confluence.) See Templates in the  documentation for details.

Designing Forms

The Live Forms frevvo Designer is the heart of ' simple, quick, no-coding required form creation. The Forms Designer enables you to add controls quickly to your form, customize their appearance and layout, and add rules that affect the behaviour of the form.

Form submissions can be viewed directly in your Confluence page. By default, the designer who created the form/flow can view/edit submissions. If you want non-designer users to have the ability to view/edit submissions, verify the following:

  • Those users are assigned the view/edit permission in the Access Control list for the form/flow.

Adding Submissions to a Confluence Page

To add Submissions to any page, select the Submissions menu item. This menu item is available only when the Confluence add-on is correctly installed and configured and you are logged in to Confluence as a user with the appropriate permissions.

The Add Menu in Confluence 4.x is shown in the image below:

The Add Menu in Confluence v5 has changed. Click on the Tools Menu then select Add Submissions from the menu choices.

The Add Submissions page displays. Select a form or flow from the dropdown and click "Add".

The submissions view will be added to your Confluence page. Submissions are displayed in a table view. Default columns and any fields in your form/flow that have been setup as Searchable Fields display as columns in the table. Columns can be hidden from the table view. Submissions can be searched by form fields. For example, if you are looking for a Vacation Request from employee David Russel it can be located by specifying the Name field in the form/flow and entering the text "David Russell" in the value column  in the Submissions Filter section of the screen. Double click on any submission to view all of the data.
