Note

In v9.1 and later frevvo's "Applications" are known as "Projects," and "Themes" are known as "Styles." The API objects and methods still use the words application, 'app', and theme.

...

Warning

All references to Themes have been removed in version 5.3. This example does not pertain to 5frevvo 5.3 or later.


Code Block
    FormsService service = ...;
    ThemeQuery query = service.CreateThemeQuery(null);
    ThemeFeed themes = service.Query(query);
    foreach (ThemeEntry theme in themes.Entries)
    {
            Console.WriteLine("Theme: " + theme.Title.Text);
    }

...

This is often needed when you need to relate a  form frevvo form with another concept your application (e.g. you application has the concept of a report that has an associated  formfrevvo form). In this case you will store the form id somewhere and when needed fetch the form entry to embed it in your page, delete it, etc.
Here is how you get the for a form entry (in fact any entry):

...

Every FormType always has 1 default DocumentType that cannot be removed. This is the DocumentType managed by  and frevvo and updated when controls from the palette are added or removed from the form. For this DocumentType the Delete() method will fail (you can check whether a DocumentType can be deleted or not using the entry's ReadOnly property).

...

Code Block
FormTypeEntry formTypeEntry = ....; 

// request all data come back as part of the submit response
NameValueCollection linkParams = new NameValueCollection();
linkParams.Add("_formActionDocs", "true"); 

FormEntry formEntry = formTypeEntry.CreateFormEntry(linkParams); 

IList<MultipartContentElement> responseData = formEntry.SubmitInstance(); 

foreach (MultipartContentElement part in responseData)
{
       string dispositionType = part.ContentDispositionType;
       string name = part.Name;
       string contentType = part.ContentType;
       string contentTransferEncoding = part.ContentTransferEncoding;
       string data = part.DataPayload;
}

There are three options when uploading a workflow or form: Insert, Copy or Replace. You can use a Stream or a file path location when uploading.

Code Block
string fileName = ....;
bool isForm = ....;
ApplicationEntry appEntry = ....; 

// If an entry with the same id already exists, it will be replaced.
// Otherwise, the archive will be uploaded with the same id.
FormTypeEntry entry = appEntry. FormTypeFeed.UploadAndInsertFormType(filename, isForm); 

// If an entry with the same id already exists, a copy will be made.
// Otherwise, the archive will be uploaded with the same id.
FormTypeEntry entry = appEntry.FormTypeFeed.UploadAndCopyFormType(filename, isForm); 

// If an entry with the same id already exists, it will be replaced.
// Otherwise, the archive will be uploaded with the same id.
FormTypeEntry entry = appEntry.FormTypeFeed.UploadAndReplaceFormType(filename, isForm); 
 
Stream appStream = ....;
bool isForm = ....;
ApplicationEntry appEntry = ....;
 
// If an entry with the same id already exists, it will be replaced.
// Otherwise, the archive will be uploaded with the same id. 
FormTypeEntry entry = appEntry. FormTypeFeed.UploadAndInsertFormType(appStream,isForm);

// If an entry with the same id already exists, a copy will be made. 
// Otherwise, the archive will be uploaded with the same id. 
FormTypeEntry entry = appEntry.FormTypeFeed.UploadAndCopyFormType(appStream, isForm);


// If an entry with the same id already exists, it will be replaced. 
// Otherwise, the archive will be uploaded with the same id. 
FormTypeEntry entry = appEntry.FormTypeFeed.UploadAndReplaceFormType(appStream, isForm);

Code Block
Validation occurred with errors. Users data NOT loaded. Refer to attached CSV data file for validation and/or loading result details.

Ensure the form/workflow submissions you are trying to access has either the userid or Roles that the user is a member of in "Who can view submissions" ACL.

How do I use the Security Manager Built-In Admin?

LDAP, SAML, and SAML Azure Security Managers provide a built-in admin login directly to frevvo, which is helpful if your security manager logins should become inaccessible and you need to access frevvo.  This built in admin is automatically enabled from the API when using SAML, but for LDAP it needs to be explicitly enabled by setting the custom property "backdoorLogin" to true in the loginAs call. This will allow the API to login in the same way a built in admin can login using /frevvo/web/admin/login.

Code Block
service.loginAs("loginAsUser", "adminuser@tenant"), "????", true, null, null, null, null, Map.of("backdoorLogin", "true"));
