Installable Templates are pre-built workflows and forms that are easily added to your tenant. The templates and associated Guided tours are a great way to get started designing forms and workflows.

Control and Form/Workflow Templates make it easy to reuse existing work you have done in previously created forms/workflows and to share that work with other designers.

Why reinvent the wheel? includes several pre-built workflow and forms templates. The frevvo website has many examples that showcase  features to solve real business problems.

Don't have a frevvo tenant yet? No worries - click the Free SignUp button on the login screen to register for a 30 day free trial.

In addition to the prebuilt templates provided by , tenant-wide templates may be published for use by any designer in your tenant. This is a two step process. First, the designer publishes the template. Then, the tenant admin promotes the template so other designers can find it in the Installable Templates dialogue.

Info

Installable templates and Guided Tours are only available for frevvo Cloud customers at this time. These features may be included in a future on-premise release.

Don't see the template you are looking for? Follow these steps to locate a template on the frevvo website and install it in your frevvo Cloud tenant:

  1. Log into your frevvo Cloud tenant as a designer user. This user must have the ability to create forms/workflows (frevvo.Designer role). If you just signed up for your free trial tenant, try logging in with designer@<your tenant name>.
  2. Click the  Add icon and select Install a Prebuilt Template. You will see an All Templates tab and Category tabs created by the frevvo superuser i.e. HR, Finance, Education.
  3. There are two ways to search for Installable Templates:

    1. When the search screen displays, the All Templates tab is highlighted. Type your search criteria into the search box to search all available Installable Templates.

    2. Click a Category tab of interest and type your search criteria into the search box.



    3. Templates that match the template name, description, category or tags set up by the frevvo superuser display. You will see the message "No matching items. Please adjust your search or category selection." if there are no matches.

  4. Hover over the template of your choice and click Install. The selected template immediately appears in the project list. You will see the Forms and Workflows Home Page for that template.

Alternatively, click Home and then select the Templates tab. You’ll see the categories or tags you created when you published your template. Some tags are in larger font; this means you’ve used these tags for more than one template. Click any category or tag to display a list of matching templates.

  • The name of the form/workflow template and it's form/workflow ID i.e. ID: _J1XuIGF9EemFgY-aI39GrA.
  • The description of the form/workflow template that was entered when it was published.
    • Add or Remove from Templates: Clicking "Add to Templates" will make the template accessible to all designers in the tenant. Clicking "Remove from Templates" will reverse this. (On Premise Customers will see "Add to Wizard.") 
    • You can test the template by clicking  (the Try icon)— the  Try. The template displays as a fully functional form so you can enter and validate data before deciding whether you want to use it. Note the Try count in the Counts column will increase each time the Try icon is clicked. 
    • Use the template in a new form/workflow by clicking  (the Create icon) Create. Add the template to a Project ("application") by selecting it from the dropdown. Click Finish and the form/workflow template will display on the appropriate designer canvas. By definition since this is a template you will be able to use it in as many forms times as you want.  Once you’ve used it to create your form, you can customize your new form without ever affecting the template.

Control Templates

A control template is a control or a group of controls that a user published in the Form Designer so that it can be reused in other forms and by other designers within the same tenant. You typically want to publish control templates after you spent hours working on a complex form with sophisticated layouts, field patterns, business rules, etc., and want to avoid redoing the work in a different form(s). You also may want to use control templates when you need to split the work among a number of form designers, where each designer is responsible for creating a subsection of a complex form and another designer is responsible for assembling these control templates into a final form or workflow.
