There are two ways you can test your forms.

Method 1: Click the Image Modifiedsave and test icon from within the forms designer to save the changes to your form and automatically display the test popup window. Complete the form in the popup window to test it. When your testing is completed and the test mode screen is closed you will be returned to page in the forms/flow workflow designers where you clicked the save and test icon if you need to make additional changes.

Method 2: Click the Image Modified save and exit icon on the Forms Designer toolbar to save the changes to your form and exit the form designer. Then click the Image ModifiedTest icon for the form on the Forms and Workflows Home Page to enter Test Mode. Complete the form in the popup window to test it.

Both methods display the test mode popup which includes the Test Mode Views discussed below.

The Save and Test feature is not available for frevvo customers integrating with Confluence. The icon can be hidden with a configuration parameter.

The save and test feature reduces form development time by allowing designers to test forms, business rules and mapped PDFs without leaving the form designer. Modifications needed after testing can be quickly addressed since you will still be in the form designer once you close the popup window. This is particularly helpful when building, troubleshooting, and testing forms, business rules and mapped PDFs.

When the Image Modified save and test is clicked, the form is saved in the background, and the Test popup window displays reflecting the newly saved version of your form. The form will behave exactly as it will when users access it. To test the form, just complete it as your users would and click Submit

When you close the Test popup, you will be on whatever designer page you were on when the save and test icon was clicked. This allows the designer to go right back to making changes after closing the Test popup.

You will see the Image Modified save  save and test icon:

  • On the designer, rules and PDF mapping pages.
  • An informational processing message as shown in the image is displayed after the icon is clicked until the test window opens.



  • if your form contains business rules they will be validated before the test popup displays and you will see this message:



  • If form/field validation errors are detected, closing the test popup returns you to the designer where you can quickly make corrections and retest. 

  • Save and Test checks for Rule and pdf mapping errors before the test popup displays. This gives the designer the option to correct first before saving and testing.

    • If rule validation errors are detected, the designer is notified and given the option to correct before the Test popup is displayed.



    • If PDF mapping errors are detected, a warning message with information about the error displays.



  • The form version increases by 1 every time you click on the save and test icon. It is reflected on the on the form edit page, when viewing/editing submissions and when you download/upload a form.

If you use the Save and Test feature to save the latest versions when developing your form, simply click the Image Modified Cancel  Cancel icon when you are ready to leave the designer.

...

If your browser is configured to block popups, you may see this message the first time you click the Image Modified save and test icon. If so, clock ok to open the test window then check your browser settings to allow pop-ups.



...

Of course, you can always click the Image Modified save and exit icon to save the changes to your form but you will be returned to the Forms Home and Workflows home page after the changes are stored. The test popup is accessed by clicking the Image Modified Test icon. To continue making modifications to your form you must click the form name or select Image ModifiedEdit icon from the Image Added Action Menu to return to the form designer for subsequent modifications.

Before you share your new form or flow workflow with users you'll want to test it to make sure it looks and works the way you want. You will want to test that the form is properly validating data entered into each control, that all your rules are correctly causing the behaviors such as show/hide and calculations that you want.

...

  1. Install your browser's developer tool. 
  2. Test your form and enable the developer tool.
  3. Click on the Console tab.
  4. Execute this JavaScript function   _frevvo.api.forms.controls.getControlErrors(); Calling this function returns a collection of objects that describe any invalid controls including the control id, control label and the error description. In the image, you can see the reported errors for an Email, Money and Date field that contain invalid data. The controls are inside of a hidden section and are not visible to the user who is trying to Submit/Continue the form/flowworkflow.

Test your form to verify that all your business rules are working as expected. For instance if you have a radio field "Billing address same as Shipping?" and select "no", you would expect the hidden Shipping Address section to become visible and required. Test each form field that has dynamic business rules to verify that they are working as you want. Also remember to test the negative cases, for example if you then click "yes" to the billing address question, make sure the Shipping Address section control becomes hidden and optional again. Note it's very important that hidden controls are not required as discussed above.

...

When you are done testing and are ready to roll out your form, mark it public or public in tenant via Access Control in the Form Designer, or using the Image Added Security option from theImage Modified icon and make it available by sharing it.

...

You can test the translation files you create and upload into  by clicking the test  icon on the Internationalization screen or you can use the  &locale URL parameter  to initialize the form with other languages. See Multi Language Support for details on creating translations and testing locale translations .
