XML document from Doc URI
The form designer ensures the XML document used to initialize the form is valid for the XSD schema used to create the form. If the XML document is invalid your form will fail to initialize and will display the message "There were problems initializing form".At least one document URI used to initialize the form is invalid. Please check the document at the URI and check it against any schema. Unexpected namespace http://localhost/ddform.xml: was expecting http://www.frevvo.com/schemas/_F7l4AHnDEeGgieOxgHLpgg"
One example of an invalid XML document is when the XSD contains a repeating element. If minOccurs=3 and the XML document contains only 2 elements then the document is invalid and your form will display the standard error message.

The XML document must also use UTF-8 format encoding. |
Time, Date/Time Controls
Time and Date/Time controls can be initialized in a form with data provided by an XML document.
Here is an example of XML code that can be used to initialize a form with date, time and date/time controls. The The data will be converted to the timezone of the browser and displayed in the form accordingly if the timezone is provided in the XML document. The "Capital Z" represents the timezone as shown below. Initialization data will not be converted and will display as is on the form if the timezone is not provided. See Initializing Forms with Data for more information. Notice in the XML document example below that the The time for the date/time control is proceeded by a capital "T" (Time Zone) and followed by a "Z" (UTC timezone).

You must specify the _formTz=<tz> parameter , appended to the share URL if the form contains date, when initializing a form with time or date/time controls when initializing a form from an XML init document, the _data parameter or a business rule that uses the rule identifier,form.load. This is because the form server needs to know the timezone in which to return the date and time. Successful initialization cannot be guaranteed if the &_formTz parameter is not supplied. Refer to Initializing Forms with Data for the details.This URL parameter is not needed if your form/flow only contains date controls. Refer to Time Zones for the details. |
For Example: the XML document shown below provides initialization data for the Product Order form via a Doc URI set up by the form designer.
| Code Block |
|---|
<p0:form xmlns:p0="http://www.frevvo.com/schemas/_yyePwNgBEeG5s7IL2f0q_g" name="CopyofProductOrderForm">
<Message14><center>Best Company<br/>Product Order Form</center></Message14>
<OrderDate>2012-07-17</OrderDate>
<OrderTime>11:13:00Z</OrderTime>
</p0:form> |
Copying the Product Order share URL, without the &_formTz=<tz> parameter into a browser session will trigger an error message when initialization is attempted.
http://localhost:8082/frevvo/web/tn/rap.com/user/rap/app/_w-eeENIYEeGYrP3vLLbERA/formtype/_yyePwNgBEeG5s7IL2f0q_g/popupform?locale= |
Adding the &_formTz=America/New_York to the form URL will display the time on the screen in the America/New_York timezone and guarantee successful initialization:
http://localhost:8082/frevvo/web/tn/rap.com/user/rap/app/_w-eeENIYEeGYrP3vLLbERA/formtype/_yyePwNgBEeG5s7IL2f0q_g/popupform?locale=&_formTz=America/New_York |
Time data in a form is always converted from the browser's timezone to a valid UTC format when posted in the form XML document in the submissions database. You may see the time in UTC format with a trailing "Z" (UTC) time or the time value plus or minus the UTC offset. Refer to Viewing XML Documents for more information on the Submissions Database and the XML document.
Single digits for month and day in a rule or an xml document used to initialize a form will work only for the Date control. The Date/Time control requires a valid xml for successful initialization. See Rules Examples for more information.
